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:)



Sounds very interesting Frank! I might try this with a few favorites, once I learn how. I love better blooms too! Thank You!
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
