What beautiful dahlias you grew! All of mine turned brown and crunchy after our California heatwave 2 weeks ago. They only have a few blooms and are still trying to recover. Hope it gives another flush before it goes dormant in Dec. I would love to try your vaselife extender conditioning for dahlias. Thanks! - Zee, N. Cali zone10a

Good information! I also use the hot water treatment. Plus FloraLife plant food and Chrysal CVBN tabs in the water to suppress bacterial growth in the vase. CVBN tabs should be put in the harvest bucket. Dahlias are on the Dirty Dozen List. After a few days, change the water, add more flower food and trim the stems.

You re an amazing source of information as always! I ve yet to try the hot water bath and typically use CVBN tablets. Do: you have an opinion on chlorine tablets as a harvest extender?
Dahlia variety question: will you share the name of the orange water lily shaped dahlia?

I've never used this method. I do use cool filtered water with plant food and careful of the stage the flower is in and usually get 10-14 days. Thank you for going over the flower stage again as that is so helpful for cuttings.

Thank you for this info. This was my first year growing dahlias and I noticed that my bouquet last week didn't last very long so this will be very helpful with future bouquets.

I'm growing dahlias (just 4 plants) for the first time. They haven't bloomed yet since I planted them so late. They have lots of buds so I'm hopeful! Thanks for the tip!

Have you found some dahlias bloom sooner than others? Mine take so long to bloom here in Illinois, it doesn't seem worth it, but they. are so beautiful!

I'm just a home gardener and have never heard of this method. I'm in zone 5b. When is the best time to dig up my dahlias. Before or after a frost.
