Tree Dahlia

13 years ago

This flowers once a year, and then you've just got to wait 12 months for it to happen again. Gorgeous flower! I have to point the camera directly above my head to capture the blooms!

That is lovely. We have several types of dahlias, but nothing like this.

Nice picture Bill The tree dahlias can grow quite tall.We had them in the front but they used to fall over into the street so I removed them.We used to propagate by using a few sections of the trunks? and laying them flat
in a small trench and they sprouted easily. Yours is a very good shot
and a nice colour.

Hi there and welcome, I tried them in zone 7, they grew tall but no flowers. I think they are kind of speciality plants for plant geeks. I am not familiar with your zone, could be that they start better next year. As far as I know you don`t grow those for the showy flowers, rather because they are special. So, I was given one as well, about 4 years, a gift from my dad... (both kind of plant geeks...) not sure whether that helps, bye, Lin

Found out that the dahlia bulb was drowned in potting mix suitable for a dry climate. We haven't had a dry climate this Summer. I purchased some new dahlia tubers and planted them in specialist bulb potting mix. They are growing beautifully. Don't think that I'll get the height ( or maybe even the flowers) this year, but I'm on my way now.

It took a while, but despite the greenhouse height limit, it is blooming.

Yeah Chas, this one is getting closer and closer to the ground as the days roll along. I usually tie it to the fence but didn't get around to it this year.
