growing dahlias from seed

browndaisy · #1 Oct 25, 2009, 11:17 AM

I am sure I can grow dahlias from seed but will they produce flowers the first year or would I be better to buy tubars? I am starting them next spring (2010) but want to be able to have lots of flowers to cut for my sons wedding in the fall of that year. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry, I've only grown them with tubers

I usually go the easy and sure way

Edit: I do know that my yellow ones only last a couple days inside before turning brown on the edges, but they are 'Dinner Plate' you might want to stay away from the lighter colors.
