| Does anyone know the height of Mingus Nicole? I searched the Big List and the one supplier that carries it and lists size details has left the height blank. |

| Monet, why not just email either the supplier or Mingus Dahlias and ask the height? I bet either would be glad to answer your question. |

| When I saw it in his garden many years ago it was about 4 feet tall. |

| I traded for a Mingus Nicole tuber and have it in a pot to take cuttings. The sprout has just started and when it is about 2 inches long, I will cut it off and root it in some sterile potting mix. I have wanted this one for about five years and have never seen it for less than $10.00. I am looking forward to growing it again and it is one of the prettiest large dahlias available. Tubers are notorious for rotting in storage. |

| Thanks, Ted, for both of your responses. "Tubers are notorious for rotting in storage." This is the type of information I find invaluable from this forum. It tells me how to care for a "special needs" Dahlia. I will take cuttings as you did and grow it on as a pot tuber. It should store more reliably than the normal process. BTW - I located it for $3.00 (US). |
