| First time I have planted dahlia. Do all plants need to be pinched? This one seems to be coming up nice and full.

| I'm sure it would be fine with no pinching - but each time you pinch it gets bushier and more stems - that looks like a big dahlia 'bouquet' already. What variety is it? It is funny how their growth is different - some have that very full and robust foliage and some are much more delicate. |

| cindy, I dont know the variety, I know they are red in color. My neighbour gave me a couple of tubers she had dug up last fall. I thought I had actually killed them over the winter. We just had them in newspaper in the basement, along with a couple of canna lily tubers she also gave me, but looks like they survived as they are growing well so far. I can hardly wait to see the flowers! |
