Growing Dahlias Series for Gardeners
Enter Your Dahlia-Growing Era in 2025!
Have you ever planted a dahlia tuber that didn’t sprout? Or grew a dahlia that bloomed but not as much as you had hoped? Maybe frost hit, and you weren’t sure how to dig, divide, or store your tubers. Or you thought you knew what you were doing when storing, but then your tubers shriveled up or molded…
Growing dahlias can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be!
My first year of growing dahlias was a total flop—but decades later, I grow hundreds of healthy, beautiful dahlias on my flower farm. Let me help you skip the frustration of trial and error so you can find more joy in your dahlia garden. Plus, you’ll have the chance to grow friendships with other dahlia people. Count. Me. In.
