About Growing Dahlias

Once dahlias get started — which they are when you buy them from us —  they are pretty tolerant and easy to grow. Well-drained soil in the sun. They grow 3-5′ so stake them.  Japanese beetles sometimes like hiding in some blooms, but they only like some plants and leave the rest alone. We have never had critters who like eating them.

Dahlias will fill your garden with color and beauty from late July or early August until the frost takes them down. When nothing else is giving you color, when all the other flowers are dead and gone, the dahlias are there, still extravagant and eye-catching. 

Some people worry because of the idea of lifting them and keeping them over the winter. You can do that if you wish — we’re happy to advise you on how. But you really don’t have to. Seriously — they are worth having even if you keep them as an annual. Dahlias will give you such lush color for so long, you don’t need to lift and keep them to make it worthwhile.
