First time growing Cactus Dahlias

Submitted 6 months ago

By Flower lady

From Prince Frederick, Maryland

Of the many varieties of Dahlias planted this year this is by far the best producer of beautiful flowers, which are still going strong Mid October. The plants aren't falling over as so many of the others are & produce many blooms. Going to order the assorted color ones for next season.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Hoping for lovely blooms

By My plant life

From Warren MI

My dahlia success has been dismal to this point. Every year, I swear off them and crumble come spring. I'm hoping for success with these. The 5 whopping clumps of dahlias had (as usual) multiple broken necks. I tidied em up and potted em. Perhaps this year will be different.
