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.

Like a fluffy cloud

This is quite the beauty. It reminds me of a big fluffy cloud. Gets kind of heavy, though, so it does need more support right near the head than other dahlias. Lots of buds. (Zone 5/6 in south central Michigan)

This is a sturdy stemed ,great cut flower, Mine had the barest hint of yellow in the center and was an eye catcher in a bouquet. Love it!

Not the center of my court!

Center Court did nothing. I mean, there was puny growth and when dug, only the "mother tuber" was there.
