Three Things I wish I knew When I started Growing Dahlias

Don’t get so busy researching the best ways to grow dahlias that you skip the most important part. Have fun!

  1. Even the ugliest, most shriveled tubers have a great chance at producing growth for you. Stop throwing them away because they aren’t “pretty” or top quality.

  2. You don’t have to do every magical step everyone else does to make them grow. What works for someone else honestly isn’t going to always work for you. It has a lot to do with the areas we all live in and how they are all different. It also has to do with us as growers. That is the beauty of learning to grow something. Have fun with the journey of learning.

  3. Sunlight, water and drainage. Those are the three key things dahlias need to be successful. Don’t over complicate something that is supposed to be beautiful and fun!
