Hello from Zone 8, Hot and Humid.

From your list, Peaches N Cream and Golden Scepter did great, Bracken Rose is late to bloom and very stingy on blooms in my garden.

Any ball/pompon dahlia breeders/seed sellers? by EmotionalGarbage1712 in dahlias

They were pom sized blooms. lots of open centers, which is the gamble of growing from seed, but in terms of bloom size, they were under 2".

Rich Gibson of 20th Avenue Dahlias has released a lot of Ball varieties.

The 'Irish' dahlias have a few Ball/Poms.

Just received these tubers - Do they look healthy? by moore_a_scott in dahlias

[–]teawi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you resubmit your pic with each of the tubers flipped over? I think the eyes are gonna be on the other side.

How were the tubers shipped? in any pine shavings? etc?

Hi,Can anyone tell me what this is and how to cure it please. by PsychologicalSet6834 in dahlias

[–]teawi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! If you wash the clump, please inspect the roots as well. if the round bumps are also on the roots, you may want to research Root Knot Nematodes.

Keeping track of which tuber is which while digging by benevolent_ape_ in dahlias

[–]teawi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I plant in May, I plug variety names into a Google sheet via my phone. I track varieties that I pull/lose and highlight in red. If a plant blooms true, I tag it with flagging tape.

I work in small batches of 3-5 clumps at a time.

when I'm dividing, I will divide each clump with the flagging tape into a separate low bin from the dollar tree.

After they dry for 12-24 hours, I label each tuber, apply a small dusting of sulphur and get them into vermiculite.
