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.

If you think you can't grow dahlias, try growing this one. This is the hardiest most prolific dahlia I've grown. I end up with giant clumps of tubers by the end of the season, I give them away, but the few I keep will turn enormous, and it's a vicious cycle. The bees lose their mind over them. Definitely a favorite amongst pollinators!

fun!

finishing our first year with this one and glad to have it. Very fun addition to the garden, love it's unique shape and coloration. Flowered late but expect it to do better next year.

Super interesting Dahlia

First seen this dahlia- I was not fond of it. But I kept watching the pictures until I decided to give a try. What a wonderful plant. So prolific, intriguing and dark color. A keeper. Also bought Willie willie- but Tahoma moonshot was my favorite smaller dahlia.

Unusual

I planted this out by the sidewalk so it could show off it's amazing and unusual beauty. Late bloomer but did show first year. Prolific and bushy so it definitely needs staking. Blooms last a few days each but are immediately replaced by another on it's stem. Vibrant colors, lots of comments by passers-by. Bees love them so I will harvest for seed just so I can see what the bees have created.

Stunning

Purchased this earlier this year is now loaded with unique blooms. The bees are huge fans and so am I. Strong and fast growing pant with many flowers. Great for adding an interesting touch to your bouquet.

Wonderful, unique dahlia

This is a wonderful, unusual and unique dahlia. You won't find it anywhere else. It took a couple of years before I got my technique down, and now my Tahoma Moonshot grows quite nicely. The blooms don't last very long, but the dahlia makes more flowers starting in mid-season, and each bloom feels special. Definitely a conversation starter--each flower looks like it came from another world!
