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.

Extremely prolific

One of my favorite dahlias. Petals had an iridescent quality that shimmered in the sunlight. And there were so many of them! One photo I took has 14 blooms open at their peak with many more buds, and just from one tuber. Vase life was average.

Glad I didn’t throw it away

The first year I got this, it gave me two blooms. The second year, it produced leaves but no blooms. Now on its third year, it woke up! From one bulb, I am able to get so many plants, and they’re all blooming this year. I am in 9b, it’s October, and the flowers are bigger and stronger than the early summer blooms.

This beauty does not disappoint.

A compact plant with many blooms. It produces reliable clumps that churn out more flowers the next season. Great as cut flowers too. ????

Good in the Finger Lakes of New York

This was a free tuber which came with a big order. Lucky me. Bloomed early, a lot of flowers, strong stems, beautiful flower, and shrugged off the first couple of frosts that stopped other dahlias in their tracks.

I should call her Ma'am, she is real Southern Beauty

This is the 2nd year she has sprouted. 2022 very close to SIDs pictures. She was one of my favorites. She could however use a partner, such as the Beast

A good reliable and attractive performer

I have about 4 of these in my dahlia patch and they produce a lot of flowers with good stems for cutting. It is a reliable dahlia and flowers are very attractive in terms of form and color. It is well named.
