dahlias not blooming

21 years ago

Is anyone else experiencing this? I have grown dahlias for years and this is a first. I think the soil temperature and night temperatures have been to warm.

Hopefully, I will get some blooms before frost.

jenniew,

I live in northern kentucky, I have several dahli plants most are blooming. I have only one or two very small plants that are not. I know that my plants that are blooming are both in direct sunlight and part sun. I know a few of my plants have been slow blooming this year. I know this doesn't help, but maybe there is a reason like root fengus or something. I wish I could be of more help.

almost all of my dahlias are blooming except the ones which got stuck in the shade as I didn't have time to dig beds and plant tubers on the one trip I got down here in May before I moved for good....They can take heat IMHO...
