Storing Dahlia Tubers Over Winter: My Simple Method
Lifting and storing dahlias protects them from winter rot and gives them the best chance of returning next year. Careful drying, labelling, and cleaning tools helps reset everything before the cycle begins again.
Cutting Dahlias for More Flowers: How Cut and Come Again Works
Dahlias thrive on being cut, especially when they are well fed and cut low. Pairing them with lighter flowers like cosmos makes bouquets feel softer and more abundant throughout the season.
Planting Dahlias Outside (and How I Keep Them Alive)
Planting dahlias outside is exciting, but this is also when they are most vulnerable. With the right pot choice, slug protection, and support in place, you can give young plants the best possible start.
Starting Dahlias in Pots: My Early Spring Routine
Potting up dahlia tubers in early spring gives you a calm, controlled start to the season. From pot size to pinching out, these small early steps make a big difference to how many flowers you get later on.
Dahlia Tubers Explained: Picking the Right Varieties for Your Space
Dahlias can be grown from seed, but tubers are the only way to guarantee the flower you want. Choosing the right varieties depends on your space, your colour palette, and how you plan to use them as cut flowers.
