Last time I grew dahlias from (Walmart) bulbs- I did not trim and they got “leggy” and few blooms.. but glorious blooms!
When do I cut this season? So we can be thick and luscious?
Here’s what we’re looking like so far 💕

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.

Wait until you have three sets of leaves. In the future, avoid tubers from big box stores, Walmart, costco and importers. They tend to be diseased and often mislabeled.
