If you want to give dahlia seeds a try, here’s what you need to do! A little breakdown on the results: 1. If you want to know what you’re growing, grow dahlias from tubers. Dahlia seeds are NOT clones of the mother plant. Dahlias are considered octoploids which means when they’re pollinated, the list is endless in what can come from those seeds. 2. Not all dahlias will make seeds… for example, pompom dahlias are notorious for not making very many, if any. 3. Open centered dahlias are the easiest

Annual seeds are some of the cheapest and easiest to sow and you can get loads of gorgeous flowers from them. Yes, you have to sow them every year(although many self seed as well) but you can also easily save their seeds; they grow fast; and you can buy thousands for not that much if you just know where to look. This area I went for zinnias, phacelia, marigolds, cosmos, and dahlia seeds (yes, you can grow dahlias from seed but it’s typically only done when hybridizing which is what I’m doing). T
