Dazzling Dahlias - 23 in a series - The best dahlias for a backyard cutting garden via Statesville Record & Landmark

Dahlias are bold and beautiful flowers that are easy to grow in any sunny garden. They are also spectacular in summer flower arrangements. With just a few dahlias, you can enjoy picking your own fresh-cut flowers every day from July through September.

These spring-planted tubers make gorgeous additions to flower beds and even the vegetable garden. If space allows, the very best way to grow dahlias for bouquets is in a cutting garden. A backyard cutting garden doesn’t need to be large. Even a 3-by-6-foot raised bed will give you plenty of space for six to eight full-size dahlia plants. Planting dahlia tubers in rows lets you get maximum productivity with minimal maintenance.
