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.

Bloomed very late and while the stalks were tall and lush, less than 6 flowers. Most blooms grow in a position/angle off the stem where they are not good for cuttings as they will not stay in a vase. Will split and try again next year. Blooms that I did get were full and fluffy.

Hakuyou YES!

Hakuyou takes its time, but it is GORGEOUS.
I suggest starting it early indoors if you live in a cold area like me. Big, full and bright. She actually lasted a week in a vase too!

Finally bloomed!

As described, it WAS a late bloomer. It almost didn't make it before the weather started to change. One big bloom only on a very short plant. Beautiful though.

Bold , lush and beautiful

This dahlia has a luxurious quality. It’s absolutely stunning! This was my first year competing in a dahlia show and I won a blue ribbon and went to the Honors table with Hakuyou! It takes a long time to bloom but really worth the wait. It lasts several days as a cut flower too ! If you have patience, you’ll be highly rewarded

Plant is healthy, loaded with blooms that just have not opened yet.

Imagining it will be as lovely as your other Dahlia.
