I love the sports....esp. if the mother variety has a unique shape and produces a mutation with an even more exciting color/pattern than itself.

I'm sure we can fix you up....either this Fall..(if you want)....or wait 'til next Spring. I have all of these colors and more.....I do keep 6-7 white varieties for weddings.....the local florists buy most of them. Give me a yell!

Beautiful Dahlia photos and I love the video....great idea! Digging my tubers this week......preparing for the looooooong Winter here in the North. " Happy digging" for those of you just starting the long process. I didn't get my camera out this year....hope to get some good shots of some...

Thanks,.......I'm digging mine up this week.....1,200 plants. I'll miss all of the beautiful flowers this Winter....can't wait 'til Spring again. I'm so glad that "Mackinac Island" did so well for you. I planted 37 plants of that variety this year. I had a few surprises this year...one of...

I planted about 1,200 tubers this year...going to start digging them up this week. I store mine in shavings as well and keep the temp. about 45 degrees. I'd rather be planting in warm Spring than digging in colder Fall. My best to all....

Whew.....!!! I'm sooooo glad that you got some blooms from them...and again, ...I apologize on the shipping delay. "Mackinac Island" is a great tuber maker as well..... I planted about 1,200 Dahlias this year and about 2/3rds have blooms or big buds......I'm happy. Please keep us...

I finally got the last of my Dahlias planted today...about 1,200 plants total. Down from a few years ago...but 3 times more than last year. I would love to hear how the Dahlias are doing in other people's gardens in other parts of the country/world.....Happy Growing!!! Rusty

Hi Marshall.....I didn't save any Dahlia cross seed this last year but plan on saving some this season in hopes of having something special next year and beyond. I did have a couple of neat mutations pop up from some older varieties.....ie: "Apricot Pippi"..............which mutated from...
