Dahlias - any tips for a beginner?
« on: May 14, 2008, 19:34:00 »
This year i am growing dahlias on my plot for the first time - some from tubers and some from cuttings.  Any tips?  Soil prep, What feed do they like and how often etc?

Try a search on A4A for Dahlia, but be sure you make a mug of coffee first as there's loads of info already on here, and it 'll take a while to read it all.
