Tips From the Dahlia Master
Dahlia know-how from Drew English of the English Gardener and the dahlia master at High Hampton Resort in Cashiers, North Carolina. Dahlias are grown from tubers which are commonly confused with blubs. Tubers are more like a potato with a thin skin and they sprout eyes while blubs have layers and layers of thin skin for protection. The delicate tuber needs more coddling to keep it away from excess moisture and freezing ground temperatures. If they sit in saturated wet soil, they will rot, which is why they are dug up every year and protected during the winter (there are some exceptions explained below).
