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.

So pretty! Love the light pink to white coloring.
I love this Dahlia. The cactus blossoms are early to bloom in the Colorado summer. The plant also is vigorous, and divides well, although it tends to be a bit leggy. I bought one tuber two years ago, and it has now become seven prolific plants. I dig and divide each fall here in Colorado.

Mine is more pink than the picture shown here but it’s very lovely. I planted them in mid-April and it first bloomed on July 8th. It is loaded with lots of flowers all the time, and very visible from far away as well. Love it!
