Just wondering if you ever have a flowerless plant and do you give it a second chance?
I have one that looks healthy and was planted same time and with the same care as the others . No buds yet and we are just a couple weeks away from the first frost.
I only have a few dahlias(6) not sure I want to waist time and garden space on a dud Thumbs down .

I'd keep it. There are a few that haven't given me any blooms at all but I'll just give them better spots to grow next year.

I have had a few over the years that were really slow, and I either got no blooms from, or just 1 or 2 towards the end of the season - and yet when planted the following year they did great, so I'd give it another chance.

I agree Maybe consider moving to another location next year if you lift your tubers over the winter.

Last year Zoey Rey and Penhill Yellow Dark Monarch gave me their first bloom a few days before frost. This year they've been in bloom for weeks already.

I agree. I would keep it and try again next year in a new spot.
