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.

Andrew Charles is a trooper. I planted it late last year so it took a while to get going and it is now one of my favorites. I The plant is well behaved straight stems long vase life. The color and form is outstanding. Elegant form and the color is such a happy sunshiny gold, happier looking than any sunflower. I am ordering another one just in case it has not survived the winter and I would not want to be without this one. If it has survived then I have double the beauty.
This plant does not disappoint. I look forward to him blooming every year… he is a strong, grower, great stems, lots of blooms and heavy tuber. What more can you ask for?
I didn't think I was going to get any of these, but one finally bloomed in mid-September. It is lovely.
We live in eastern WA—zone 7A. Andrew Charles bloomed early and was a heavy bloomer on long, strong stems. Fantastic flower for cutting. The soft orange blends well with stronger colors—I did not find a dahlia other than pastel pinks and whites—that wasn’t enhanced by this great addition to the arrangements. It’s big enough to be a statement flower, but can be used as a blender/filler in arrangements that have strong reds and purples. I paired it often with Lights Out and Amber Queen and Queeny Lime zinnias—gorgeous. I am looking forward to dividing and having more of these great plants next season.
This ended up being a blind tuber - grew roots but had no eye. We waited so long for it to grow, it was too late to get a replacement. That's 3 blind tubers (and blank spots) from Swan Island this season. Unusual and very disappointing.
