| I notice that on the back of my dahlias, the petals get all slimy and squishy when the fronts have not even opened fully? Also petals on the leaves leave holes in leave or black spots on the leaves. any answers? |

| 1. Heavy dew can cause the petals at the back of the bloom to do this- or if you've had rain the backs can be affected in this way esp. on bigger dahlias. 2. This is common when dahlia petals get wet & fall on the leaves. Keep the petals picked off the leaves as you dead-head. |
