Starting Dahlia Tubers
One can simply drop a tuber in the garden when the soil has warmed to 55-60 degrees F and hope for the best. It is successful more often than not for most growers. Success will vary considerably depending on the moisture content of the soil at planting and with the subsequent amount and frequency of spring rain.
To minimize the above risk with direct planting many growers opt to start tubers in pots or trays instead of dropping tubers directly into garden soil. This allows one to get earlier blooms as a bonus. It also ensures greater success if done properly.

Congratulations to all the other winners too – see the list here – and thanks to all who participated by showing their blooms and by setting up, preparing forms, cleaning up…all the activities that make a great show.
What a great kick off to the 2022 season.
