| I purchased 5 packs of bareroot dahlias. I keep the tags that were in the package. All of them are turning out to be 'Duet' so far. Is this common to get bags of tubers that are mislabeled from big box store.
'Duet' is cool but this was supposed to be my year to focus on dahlias. I was giving them a shot this year. I typically avoid them due to a lack of space and the fact they usually grow like bushes for me. I also dislike staking plants and find that most dahlias require that. -David |

| I bought a plant of "Peaches and Cream" last year, and when I posted my fabulous "Peaches and Cream" bloom on another site, I was told and shown that it was more likely "Seattle" therefore, the big box store did mislabel. It does happen, but . . . all 5? I'm a fan of Duet, but wouldn't want an entire garden of it. I don't generally buy big box store dahlias, I buy my tubers one at a time from either dahlia club sales or from people that specialize in growing dahlias. But even dahlia growers and clubs make mistakes . . . it happens! When I helped package dahlias for my club this year, I learned just how easy it is to mislabel! |
