| I tried an intermediate dahlia this year for the first time. I am no expert....I fertilized about monthly with MiracleGro. A couple of weeks ago I got tremendous foliage growth, the plant got pretty tall (intermediate, that is) but no blooms whatsoever. Did I overfertilize? |

| In my experience you cannot over fertilize these heavy feeders. Is there enough sunlight? maybe your variety is a late bloomer - I have one that is just setting buds. When did you plant? |
|
| Full full sun in the spot. It has already bloomed a few blooms so I don't think it is a late bloomer. I planted it in early-mid May. It was growing (foliage) slowly and then all of a sudden it got huge. |

| How big is huge? I would be interested in seeing a picture of it if you can... Have you looked very closely at the growing tips to see if there are tiny buds starting? |
