For 2010 we have added many new show and garden dahlias that should be of great interest.

Of special interest is our new Harmony Border Dahlia Series, of four great new medium height plants that fit into many different border or container settings. They are easy to grow and produce hundreds of excellent 4"- 6" blooms.

Why Cuttings?
Our goal is to make growing dahlias as convenient as possible for you. Your dahlias are shipped as live plants ready for the garden or pots. There is no waiting for dormant tubers to sprout.
Dahlias from cuttings generally bloom earlier than tubers and they produce new tubers for the following season.
Dahlias as they are packed and ready to ship. They are well rooted and ready to be planted.  Click to learn more.

Cuttings are handled differently than tubers. You select your date and when they arrive plant them immediately into pots or the garden. They need water, light, nutrients, and protection from cold. The first 7-10 days they require a little daily attention but the rewards are tremendous: uniform growth, earlier blooms and no waiting to see if a tuber will sprout.
Click pictures to learn more about how they are shipped and how to get them started in your garden.
Planting rooted cuttings after arrival and a day of hardening. Plant after last frost, water daily for first 10-14 days, and fertilize regularly. Rooted cuttings perform the same or better than dahlias planted from tubers. Click to learn more.
