Well, I only wish I had to worry about winter storage. First I have to have sucess at growing. I really was surprised at the guarantee there at Swann Island Dahlias. I am now thinking that they can't be that hard to grow if they guarantee them. After all, they don't know if the person ordering has any garden knowledge or experience or not. So I am very hopeful. If it works out, you bet there will be lots of pictures.
The ones that say really large flowers, like the 8-11 inch size, does that mean you have to pinch off all the side shoots that would have made flowers to get that one big one? I never do that and just leave them be.
