We planted 410 Dahlias this season. Colors lean predominately in the “bridal” direction - whites, pink blushes, and burgundies - but with a few of our “weird stuff” varieties like “Peachy Momas” and “Big Birds.” The first Dahlia flower of the season is pictured below. This pumpkin/coral variety came in a freebie package along with a large order of Cafe au Laits, so we are not aware of its name.
We added a drip irrigation network so that each Dahlia grow bag receives its own, adjustable water supply. Maintaining adequate water pressure was a challenge, requiring multiple circuits with their respective timers. Dahlias are thirsty.
