This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.

Yes, that’s cheap, but you have to be careful with dahlias from Longfield. Many times they have viruses and are not what they are labeled.

Anyone know of these growers? Are they similar to issues other big ones have?

How can I tell if they have a virus? I love Dahlia‘s but I want to start out with inexpensive ones because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep the tubers alive over the winter. Should I plant them in a pot to start just to be safe?
