| Hi,
I just saw an ad for $2 tuber dahlias. I have never grown any, so I don't know anything about them. I have a couple of questions. 1. Is this a good price?

| 1. Is this a good price? - average price for good quality tubers is $7.00 2. How long do they bloom? Would they work like annuals that I can put in a hanging basket? - They take a few months to start blooming, then bloom continually until frost - they range in size from 15" to 7 feet tall, so while a few types are used in baskets, most need much more room. Just read the labels carefully. I once purchased a small dahlia already growing in a hanging basket, it was lovely all summer. After dividing the tuber for three years, I now have 15 of them and use them as part of the border of my veg garden. They grow bigger and better in the soil than in a basket. |
