How to Grow
Dahlias are grown from tubers (similar to a bulb, but thin-skinned like a potato). Plant tubers in the springtime, about the same time as you would your vegetable gardens or when the ground is warm enough to work up and play in daily. Plant them in a full sun location (giving them 6-8 hours of direct sunlight) and enjoy blooms all summer long. They will bloom and provide you with color and abundant flowers for cutting and enjoying throughout the summer.
The more you cut a dahlia plant, the more it will bloom. Most cut dahlias will last up to 5 days once cut and treated.

Started early and kept on blooming all season. Most prolific dahlia I’ve ever had! Amazing production!
Not a great cut flower due to short, thinnish stems. Pretty blossoms.
I will definitely plant at least two of these next year.
As my first time growing dahlias SID, I was very impressed by the flowers this plant produced! I got 8 different tubers, and this was the largest plant that grew. I love the unique pattern and mine looked just like the picture! Before growing these this summer I had no idea that dahlias could even look like this! My one complaint was that the stems were very short, but you can get creative with what you put the cut flower in. Overall I was very impressed and I definitely recommend growing.
Picasso bloomed early and continuously over the season. The plant was healthy and with the shorter stems and tidy habit would be excellent in the landscape. I didn't love the blooms by themselves as the serrated tips of the petals made them look messy to me, but the stems were too short to be very useful in arrangements anyway. Coloring was very pretty and a great companion for cha ching.
I love the color splashes on the petals! The blooms are a little too tiny and the stems are definitely too short for me to use this as a cut flower, but I will continue to enjoy it in the garden.
One of my only tubers to survive my poor gardening skills. I do pull my tubers in winter and this one has lasted several years. Blooms no matter where planted!
Well, this variety is listed as a cut flower variety but I find it unsuitable for this purpose. If you don't disbud aggressively the main stem stops growing and is getting "crotchy". Also, I find it hard to pair with anything including purples, the greenish yellow center clashes with everything. Additionally, it's very easy to get an open center. It's OK as an exhibition plant and doesn't require staking though
One of my earliest bloomers (early/mid August Zone 7 in the middle of a never-ending heat wave) and it just keeps going and going and going! The flowers are lovely, and about 3" so far. Required minimal staking and is about 4' tall and bushy (I nipped the terminal bud when it was about 12" tall). One thing to note: the stems on mine have so far been pretty short, so I haven't been able to use it for cut flowers. Instead I leave them on the plant; they last a very long time. It's a workhorse dahlia, for sure.
I’m not sold on this being a great cut flower, but it certainly blooms profusely! It also overwinters well, and divides nicely. The blooms are small and pretty delicate. I don’t find they last very long in the vase.
This flower is such a creamy white. I felt like it had a vintage flair. It would fit well with a book-themed occasion. It was such a sweet bloom!
It doesn't stop. Ever. Mid 90's heat? Doesn't stop. Its late October and everything else is limping along? Not this guy, he's got 30 blooms every single week...on ONE plant. I don't even know what sort of alien technology they used to create this beautiful beastie but I am thrilled to bits with it.
