How We Grow Dahlias from Seed

We hybridize and save our own dahlia seed each year, then plant it the next season to develop new dahlias. (It looks a lot like zinnia seed, and it is planted in a similar way.) We start our seeds in late winter in the greenhouse, 1 seed per 4” pot. We only plant 1 seed per pot because we want to keep each new hybrid’s tubers separated from others at harvest time. After about 30 days of growth, we have beautiful seedlings with nice feeder roots. But after 65-70 days of growth, the seedlings begin to produce baby tubers. It’s the most magical thing!!!
