What large blooms and such deep colors. Do the seedlings make much for tubers? True beauties to admire.

Plantlady, Your seedlings are something to be proud of....My O My!!!!The first one on the second page caught my eye, what a beauty.

Thanks for sharing, they are wonderful!

Jamlover- The new seedlings get a surprisingly large clump of tubers. The husband sometimes gets around 10 tubers off of each one. Darn- he's got all the seedlings cut up & in their bins for the winter or I'd take a snap for you- oh well- next year! When we started using heat mats to start the seeds the new babies got a bigger clump of roots than before which led to a bigger bunch of tubers in the fall. Then we put in underground irrigation & the clumps got WAY bigger. They love to get their water directly at the roots.
Willow- thanks- that one is the one most people on the dahlia net commented on, too.
