Just FYI, It would be fine to plant them sideways. Sometimes tuber clusters have a lot going on, and the shoots will always figure it out and make their way up. Also, if you're making a big investment and planting a lot of Dahlias starting them in trays can make sense to ensure they are sprouting normally before putting them in your soil/garden bed. On rare occasions Dahlias can carry a bacterium/disease called leafy gall. Starting them in trays you will avoid contaminating your garden bed with gall, as it can spread to other healthy stock.

When are you able to sell dahlias tubers again in San Diego?

Can you please tell us why you hate tomatoe cages? I do use them, as an adjunct to staking, I find both together are good. But you seem really imformative, and I value your opinion

@SanDiegoSeedCompany Жыл бұрын

For indeterminate tomatoes, cages are just too small and flimsy. For some determinate varieties, they CAN work but are usually still too small. A roma can easily way outgrow a cage. They can work nicely for tomatillos though!

Hi, thanks for the video. I planted some dahlias in Northern California and it was quite warm. I saw some sprouts but they seem to be turning brown and dying back. I don’t water it much at all. Any ideas what could be happening?

Dig into the soil a bit and make sure it is definitely dry. If that's the case, you may be watering too little. Sprouts will need more moisture than established plants.

I was thinking the neck is the skinny part next to the bulb's body en then de eyes is what you need intact 🤔

Hello. New dahlia grower here 😊. I am from Northeast India and we get monsoon rains from may to sept. I just potted some dahlias on my containers and they have sprouted beautifully. I wanted to ask if it is safe to put them on the ground taking on consideration about our climate.

@SanDiegoSeedCompany 6 ай бұрын

Hmm. Sounds like it could get really wet, but it also depends on your soil and how much is holds onto water. You could also try some in the ground and some in pots to test.

Ok I know this far fetched but you sent my tubers and the box got set aside. They’ve been sitting for awhile and the tubers are bit shriveled. Should I still try to plant them? Soak them first? I am in central Florida 10b or a I forget. I can also do them in pots to avoid monsoon summer rains.

I live in zone 10. I planted already flowering Dahlias in the spring, they were beautiful. Now in mid-summer, the plants are still growing, but not flowering. Could it be that I keep them in a relatively shady spot? How much sun is recommended in a very hot climate?

@SanDiegoSeedCompany Жыл бұрын

They do want several hours of full sun per day. They can handle a good amount of heat, but some desert areas (eastern California, Arizona, etc.) might be too hot

I bought some dahlia plants that are bushy and blooming. How do I plant these beautiful flowers that will thrive? I am in zone 8 but feels like 9 some years. The temperature was 110 last year and I don’t think they can handle the extreme heat.

When is the best time to plant dahlias in zone 10?

@SanDiegoSeedCompany Жыл бұрын

The spring. They should be established before it gets really hot

@patrinamason8164 Жыл бұрын

I plant ranunculus in the fall in the same spot I grow my dahlias. Do you think my dahlias will rot because I water my ranunculus in the spring?

For a Southern California city with 70-75 F degree days in the winter, would planting in September (80-88 F) degree days) be a no go? Thank you so much!

@SanDiegoSeedCompany Жыл бұрын

They don't mind heat once they're established. We plant them in the spring, but I'm curious to see how they'll do! It might not give many blooms this year, but you can leave them in the ground over the winter.
