So, I am slowly going through my dahlia tubers - I started planting up a couple of weeks ago.
Some of the tubers I got from the dahlia farm last year were huge so I've been cutting them up. Not sure I can plant them all. Anyway - some I can't ID yet - the flowers were too far gone. Feel free to have a go ?maybe they will tell us who they are when they flower late Summer.
What varieties are you growing?

#adding varieties as I sort through my tubers :eek:
That’s a very impressive list Scarlet.
I’m growing dahlias thanks to our seed swaps.
honka thanks to you.
And mignon thanks to TMTT
I've a few more to add - just not unpacked them all.
I have some seedlings of Dahlia Giants and also some I saved from Llandaff last year. I left the Redskins and Pompoms from seed in the allotment over winter so intrigued to see if any survived
No additions to the tuber list this year. I've only started a few off so far and aim to start the rest in the next week after the cold snap.

I also have a small white pompom - hoping it's small world
Difficult to put names to them Scarlet as there are so many similar looking varieties and the flowers have gone over. Just going off what I have I think your burgundy pompom could be Natal?
