Silver years making an appearance for the first time in my garden, this dahlia didn’t bloom for me last year and sometimes I don’t keep dahlias that don’t bloom for me in the first year. I was really excited about this one so I decided to try again and boy am I glad I gave it a second chance!
Silver Years is a waterlily form that sit atop long dark stems and definitely has a glowing effect.
Do you grow this dahlia? Or would you like to? 😉

RM Aurora ~ This dahlia is new to my garden this year and is the first RM variety to bloom for me EVER! I am definitely a sucker for the dark stems, and the bloom attachment is perfect, right on top of the stem!
This tuber was sourced directly from River Merle Farm thank you for breeding such an incredible dahlia!
I look forward to the other RM varieties opening soon… do you grow any RM dahlias? What is your favorite?

KA’s Blood Orange

I cut stems deep in general but I especially do it to these dahlias to encourage longer growth habits and also to get usable stems. Cutting deep on this particular variety equals lots of de leafing and removing some of the lateral growth after harvesting, can you guess how many usable stems I was able to get from these plants? I’ll give you a hint: there are 17 plants 😉

This year I am challenging myself to make a large handheld bouquet every week with dahlias from my garden.
Dahlias are:
Peaches N’ Cream
Snoho Sonia
Pink Pearl
Ryecroft Jan
Fillers are just random weeds that are currently flowering in my yard because I stopped growing anything but dahlias a few years ago.. 👀
