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.

Each flower is a little different. I love to see what they will look like when they open. I have had a couple come out in a more coral pink. Huge blooms that last a long time in a vase for me!
She's a bold bloom, and I use her in specific pieces where she'll pair well with complimentary colors. Definitely not an everyday borning bloom, and I find it takes a specific person to appreciate her beauty. Excellent production, although I did find if I didn't do a weekly impulsion spray, her blooms would slow. Second of all my SID to bloom this year, and she's still blooming now.
These are do far my favorite for this year. Each flower is different and gorgeous mix of fuchsia and white. Productive enough to give me a new flower to cut about every 2 days. They do very well for me as cut flowers and last a while. Love them!
This one bloomed first for me this year. I LOVE that some have the light pink tips and some are deep rich magenta. Definitely stake when planting and keep supporting as she grows. Even though my stems were thumb size and larger, she was so huge and heavy (about 5’ and growing) she broke and fell over in a couple places. This site says they’re not excellent cut, but I love them cut. Plus, she gets too heavy with all her blooms!! My average bloom was 3-5”, but the season is young so maybe they’ll get bigger.
