Can Dahlias be grown anytime?

11 years ago

I live in the Caribbean and want to try to grow Dahlias. There is no frost and it is 75-85 year round. Everything I read talks about planting after frost in spring and they will bloom summer to fall. It is summer year round here so can I grow them year round or are they on a natural cycle?

Their dormant cycle will take place during your rainy season. Dahlias don't like their feet wet for long... Rot is a common tuber ailment of those in warmer climates who try to overwinter their dahlias in the ground.

It is possible for dahlia plants to bloom themselves out, but if chopped down, new stems will sprout from the tubers if the climate and moisture is ideal.
