| Hi there, I was hoping people could also (besides my zinnia thread) could give some good suggestions for good cutting dahlias? My father and I tried a cutting mix from a grower last summer but most turned out lilac color and we somewhat boring. We like bright colors.
I myself love heirloom types and while it's not terribly, old, 'Old Gold' from 1947 is a very nice dahlia. I've also found dinnerplates don't do well here in Maryland, it's just too humid and hot and their production is slow...unless I'm mistaken? Any tricks? Cactus and needle-type also sulk too.... Would it be too much to ask what everyone's favorite type of of dahlia varieties are that are distinct and great for cutting? Thanks! - Max |

| Hi I've really enjoyed growing Frizzy Lizzy, Small purple on dark colored stems. Another is BB sized formal decorative orange that we have been growing for years. Have no name but will share with you enuff tubers for a start. Steve in Baltimore County. |

| Frizzy Lizzy! Excellent! Thanks Steve for your offer, email me when you can, I'll be in school but I should be able to respond promptly. We weren't able to dig up our dahlias this year, I keep meaning too as I purchase more for fun the dahlia 'little beeswings' and that makes TONS of tubers. I need to find a better way to store them as well, mine dried out the year before as well. Think I've tried two different methods that both flunked.
