| Last year was my first year growing dahlias and I had an early to bloom variety and and a later blooming. Seems as if the early bloomer was done by august. Is that normal? |

| No- it isn't normal- if you keep them cleaned up & dead-headed they'll bloom until frost no matter when they start. It might help to give a boost of garden fertilizer in July to give them more energy to keep on going. We use 10-20-20 at planting and again in July to spruce them up for shows in August. |
