Hadn't grown dahlia for about 15 yearsm but this spring at a plant show, bought (4) grab-bag tubers $.25 each. One was a 6" standard double yellow/orange 5 feet tall, one a double spider yellow/maroon, 5 feet tall, one s atandard double yellow/red 3 feet tall and last a double medium violet, 2 feet tall. Bloomed very grand for a long time.

Tubers were single 1"dia. and 6 inches long when planted. Just dug them and the clusters range 5 - 10 pounds! Will need a new place for them next year. Soil was a mix of screen sandy loam (50%) somposted steer manure (25%) and peat moss (25%). Miracle Grow was applied once a month.
