I ordered 5 tubers of Jersey's beauty from an heirloom bulb company last winter and in the catalog it says they grow 6 - 7 feet tall. Only 2 of my tubers are over 5 feet tall and the other 3 are around 4 feet. Has anyone else had so much variation in heights for the same cultivar of plants?? Luckily, they are all blooming though.

| I wouldn't worry about the height of the plants.....if you're getting a lot of sun in your garden then the plants won't be as tall. Most of mine are between 3 and 5 ft tall. The blooms themselves look great and very healthy. Good job! |

| Thanks DB! I thought dahlias needed at least 8 hours of sun though? So too much sun may stunt their growth also? This is my 2nd year with dahlias so I kind of feel like a nervous mother. |
