We tried something a little different this season and propagated a Candy Corn dahlia from cuttings instead of tubers—and honestly, the results surprised us.
Started them in a tray early on, let them root out, and once they got going they really took off. Strong stems, good structure, and now they’re putting out some really clean blooms.
The color is what really stands out—bright yellow with that red/orange edging. Almost looks unreal in person, especially when the light hits it right.
We’ve grown dahlias from tubers plenty of times, but doing them from cuttings gave us:
- More uniform plants
- Faster early growth
- Pretty solid performance overall
Curious if anyone else here has had good luck with dahlias from cuttings vs tubers? Always interesting to see what methods people prefer.
