An easy way to get more dahlias

摘要

Use this grower's trick to propagate several plants from a single tuber. There are two ways to grow hybrid dahlias [Dahlia cvs., USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11): by planting tubers or by growing plants from cuttings. Both methods will produce healthy plants and vibrant, late-summer blooms. So why should you grow from cuttings? This technique is a great way to increase your stock of favorite varieties and get a head start on the growing season. Plants grown from cuttings will often bloom weeks ahead of those grown from tubers.
