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.

It's a lovely dahlia, but I find the foliage a little excessive. This has been a crazy year: this one didn't bloom until late September.

Wonderful Plant

I planted Milo last year and it was incredible. The plant was about 2 1/2 feet tall and well rounded. It was in full bloom all summer long. The stems are shorter but still work in smaller bouquets.
