Thank you so much for this! I am abundantly grateful as a new flower grower to have this at my fingertips. Do you have any information about pest control? Trying to do this organically, so any wisdom you might have would be so helpful!
Hi Kelly! The best advice we have about pest control is to control the weeds around your plants. We live in a magical place in the PNW where there isn’t a lot of pest pressure, but we are still very careful about keeping weeds and grass controlled around our dahlias. The weeds act as a bug highway right to your dahlias! There are lots of tips and tricks to control pests organically too, depending on where you live and what pests you’re dealing with. If you have a Dahlia Society anywhere close to you, the people that attend there would be a wealth of knowledge about how to control pests in your area. Hopefully that points you in the right direction!
