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.

This was a free gift with an order, and while not my favorite, it’s a workhorse. Lots of blooms that stay put through all kinds of weather and provides a sought-after home for bees. I’m limited for space, but will keep this for the bees.
Have tried several seasons to grow this without success. I'm sure it's a great flower, but basically impossible to grow as a garden plant - not if you want to get some flowers out of it!
The pictures currently posted by Swan Island (Sept 2020) don't do this beauty justice. Although from trying to capture my own photos I understand why. The petals have an iridescent radiance that's hard to capture in a picture. The bold yellow disc flowers at the center provide a wonderful contrast when the ray flower is fully open. I don't know the criteria used that deemed these a "no" for excellent cut flower, but for this home gardener's bouquets I have been quite pleased.
