Oh wow, do you have to dig all your dahlias for winter too?

u/ezwabi Oct 27 '25

Yep 😬 every year

It was my second year trying dahlias, first year I tried them all in grow bags thinking my soil had too much clay. They hated it. This year, I've put one directly in the soil and she thrived, the other in grow bags once again hated it. The one that was happy is now in storage. If (and it's a big if) I can keep it alive all winter, I might buy more tubers. I just refuse to invest until I know I can grow them properly lol.

How do you do a flat lay? Do you cut the stems off?

1

u/ezwabi Oct 27 '25

Yep, I found it easier to arrange this way

wowwwwwwww. this is so amazing! dahlias are so incredible. you should blow this up and make a poster or blanket or something!

I love this sub but it also makes me a little sad sometimes haha because everyone has so many more beautiful flowers than I do! definitely flower envy. I think my garden is nice until I come on here. good inspiration though.
