Cuttings provide you with a method to get more than one plant from a single tuber. For example, if you have ordered an expensive 2014 Dahlia introduction and want more plants without purchasing additional tubers, taking cuttings is the way to go. Of course, once you take your cutting(s), you can also plant the original tuber.
Also, some dahlia experts believe that a plant grown from a cutting will have better blooms.
Oh yes, and taking cuttings is fun:)
