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.

Yet another SID creation with a color that's hard to describe. Sometimes it skews toward the lighter pink tones in the flower, other times more toward the purple. Regardless, it's a strong grower with tall, sturdy stems that holds well as a cut.

2 of 3 were not successful. Other Dahlias thrived in the same area. Full sun, same amount of water etc.
