Dahlias as Cut Flowers

 Here I'm posting photos of many of the dahlias we grow every year as cut flowers.

As of late December we are finished digging and dividing the saved tubers. Planting will begin for us in March. In a home garden in the High Country you will want to wait until early May.

This coming year we hope to start cutting flowers as early as late June with the biggest flush remaining an August- October event.

Most of these are available as tubers at our store: https://www.shady-grove-gardens.com/store/c11/dahliatubers
All should be available during the growing season as cut flowers. Contact us for orders of bunches or buckets of flowers or all dahlias.
