Complete Guide To Digging, Dividing And Propagating Dahlias
Dahlias play a starring role as a focal flower on our farm, with a long blooming season and an endless array of colours, forms and sizes. Having some unique hard to source varieties is an asset on our farm, dahlias, especially during summer when it can be challenging to grow flowers here in our hot subtropical summer. We generally have plants blooming from late Spring and into mid-Autumn which is an long blooming window here in our climate. However, the challenge with Dahlias is that they don’t grow true to form when grown from seed, which means there is limitations in sourcing, procuring and building up stock. This is where knowing the right techniques for dividing and propagating are the most effective methods for building your dahlia collection.
