This was my first year starting dahlias from tubers, and let me tell you what a learning experience it has been!
From rotting tubers (not knowing I had to "wake them up" and wait till they had actual growth to waterπ
), random cold fronts at start of the season, heavy rains, pests, and so much more.
This tuber was purchased at Walmart. And out of all of the tubers I ordered (even from dahlia growers) the Walmart one was the first to produce blooms!
I am proud to say I have my first official bloom from a dahlia tuber. π€© This dahlia variety will forever hold a special place in my heart, because it was the first bloom ever! Arabian Nightβ€οΈ
