Growing Dahlias from Cuttings

Taking dahlias from cuttings can be fun, and there are lots of ways of doing it. Here are a few suggestions.

Dahlias at the end of June

A quick video on the link above showing some of the dahlia beds about a month after planting. The stopping (timing for shows) has begun. Still one or two pest & feeding problems to sort out! As there are fewer shows this year, I’ve reduced the amount of ‘fettling’ done on the plants with regards to timing etc. More staking will be added.

2020 Experiments

In the 2020 season, I tried to take more detailed records of what worked and what didn’t – varying propagation method, rooting medium, and timings. The provisional results are now available (click on link above).
