How to SUCCESSFULLY grow dahlias in zones 9 & 10 | Planting, staking & pest control

I'm SUPER excited to share that we have dahlia bulbs available! They're such incredible flowers, but I've also made some mistakes along the way, so I want to share some tips and info to help you have a successful season growing these. https://sandiegoseedcompany.com/produ... These are pretty easy flowers to grow, but I've made some mistakes that I want you to avoid. To start, it's important to know that you're dealing with live tubers similar to a potato. But instead of "harvesting" dahlias, you keep the tubers from year to year, whether keeping them in the ground or pulling them out to multiply them. Dahlias are not frost resistant (I said the wrong thing at 3:18 - let's just blame it on the pregnancy brain), so they should be planted after the last frost. That's why most gardeners in zones 9 and 10 and even zone 8 can plant dahlias anytime, bearing in mind they don't like extreme heat either. Once you receive them, they should be planted right away. So where can you plant them? Just about anywhere! Pots, raised beds, or in the ground are all fine. I even leave them from year to year. This is a fairly large pot, so I'm going to put two clumps in here. Note that I'm going to plant the entire clump, not just one tuber. I like to use large pots because that means the soil is going to hold onto moisture well. Dahlias are prone to rotting, so I'm going to water them in and then let them start budding before I water them again. Dahlias are great for pollinators, but they also attract slugs and snails. After you plant them, use some SluggoPlus to keep the numbers down. Another thing I recommend doing is giving your plants some extra support. It's good to do this early on and carefully.
