The easiest and most popular way to grow dahlias is with tubers! Just one tuber with one "eye" or sprout is all you need to start growing a beautiful dahlia plant.
When you plant tubers in the spring, they will grow and multiply… and if you dig them in the Autumn, you will have MULTIPLE tubers!
There are thousands of different types of dahlias…. and each one grows its tubers a little differently. There is a huge amount of variety in shape and size! Remember, as long as the tuber has an eye, it will grow.
Dahlias are incredibly versatile plants that can thrive in various settings. Whether you plant them in borders, beds mixed with other flowers, or in a dedicated display, dahlias are sure to add a pop of colour and elegance to your garden.
One of the standout features of dahlias is their suitability as cut flowers. With a fantastically long vase life, dahlias make stunning floral arrangements that can brighten up any room. Additionally, when you cut dahlias for arrangements, new blooms will quickly replace the ones you've removed.
Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner, the world of dahlias offers endless possibilities for creating a vibrant and colourful garden.
