| Hi all,
I ve read that you can start dahlias from cuttings...but all the info seems to be about starting them in spring. Has anyone ever tried starting cuttings in the fall indoors under lights? PLMK

| Yes I have and it works very well if you want to manage cuttings all winter long. If you have one plant or more that is hard to get started in the Spring or certain plants like Camano Cloud and Madam de Rosa that won't make tubers, then cuttings in the fall is very appropriate. Also, if you just want to make sure you have more plants in case of tubers rotting fall cuttings are the way to go. Again, the only difference is having to take care of them all winter. |
