I couldn’t resist the daffodil picture. They were hanging out next to where I was planting the dahlias.
Now is the time to plan out how you want to arrange the Dahlias in your flower gardens. Decisions, decisions, if you only have a few tubers, then the hardest decision you have is what piece of prime garden real estate will show them off the best? I will often plant like colors together and will do a pink, white, and purple garden. Or a red, yellow and orange garden. Remember they will all be beautiful, and each plant will become a showpiece of beauty and source of cut flowers all summer and fall.
Which is the top of the tuber
The top of the tuber is the end that is flat. Think of it as a long skinny radish. The root is the tapered end with a “tail” If you look at the above picture of the ground next to the picture of me, you will see what looks like several flat discs on the ground. These are the tops of the tubers that were planted level with the ground.
