Want to Grow Your Own Dahlias?
How would you like to save your favorite varieties and increase your stock every
year??? Would you like to have so many tubers you’re giving them as gifts and selling
them on the black market?
Guess what, it’s easy! But there are a few tricks and hopefully we can save you years of
trial and error by showing you what we’ve learned. Plus you will take home at least 5 tubers to get you started, from varieties like Cafe au Lait, Cornel Bronze, Golden
Scepter, Ferncliff Copper, Valley Tawny, Beaucon White, Chocolate Karma, Hy Patti
(Fiona’s very favorite), Caitlyn’s Joy, Bracken Rose, Creme de Cassis, and more! We
guarantee you will go home with at least $150 worth of tubers.
This class will teach you how to grow, care for, harvest, and propagate dahlias. We are
focusing on tuber storage but will also cover cuttings and seed saving. We are gearing it
for all levels and we are going to do some hands on digging and dividing of tubers. If
you have never grown a dahlia in your life, you will learn how, if you already know how
to store tubers over winter, we will talk methods and compare what has worked best and
worse for us. We’ve had a few happy surprises over the years and we want to hear
yours! Growing and overwintering dahlias is very particular to each climate depending
on temperatures, soil type, humidity, etc, as many of you already know. We will be
discussing what works best in this region of Montana.
Warning: Collecting dahlias can be extremely addictive. There is already an epidemic of
dahlia addiction that can be witnessed in forums and tuber sales across the country.
This class will be led by Fiona who is too late to save and could be infectious. Proceed
with caution.
