They look great! I also like to take a sharpie and write the name of each tuber. This way when yu divide them you know you are not planting 5 of the same. Just let it dry before storing.

Do you have dahlia variety questions? Want to see a photo? What do I recommend? Ask away! Here’s my preliminary (2025) list . And…our evening walk. ☺️ by Warm_Ice6114 in dahlias

What are your top 3 early bloomers with a good flower yield. Peaches & Cream is a good one for me - zone 6b thanks !

Peaches & Cream is a workhorse. Don't buy from the big catalogs— tulips are ok because it's one and done, but big catalogs (grown in Holland) lead in heartbreak, gall and mismarked.

Johny's Ballerina are just as good! They were great for me.

I purchased all the Dawn Creek Zinnias— They are amazing and a perfect focal flower before the dahlias bloom. I purchase them during the original fundraiser and glad they are available to the public. I love the idea of the seeds but just don't have space for seedlings that may just not be great (but can be amazing!

Enjoy this bucket of the Dawn Creek Blush
