I planted dahlias from seed--not bishops children. I don't remember what they were called, and I know there was some discussion on another forum whether the seeds I had and bishops children were true dahlias.

Anyhoo, they came up GREAT! Bees would sleep in them. And in the fall, I pulled them up and had TONS of tubers, which I saved and am going to try to plant this spring. We'll see if they made it. :)

cheers,
