Grow School: Dahlia Masterclass – Propagation
Our Premium Workshop: Loads of goodies included + hands on experience.
It’s spring and that means it’s time to start dahlias! Dahlias grow from seeds, cuttings and tubers. In this workshop we will give you a demonstration on dividing tubers, then you will have a practice dividing clumps under our guidance. We will also sow some seeds (collected from our own dahlias), and potentially have some cuttings to take as well. Along the way we will give you some tips on growing them. At the end of the workshop you will leave with at least twelve tubers from our wide range of varieties, all selected for their fantastic cut flower qualities, some of our own Nourish seeds, and our Nourish Guide: Dahlia Propagation. This workshop is one of the very few ways to get your hands on our much in demand tubers – at current tuber prices, this workshop is a bargain! Varieties included in this workshop (but not limited to, we have a lot more!):
- Linda’s Baby
- Joal Kaitlin
- Caitlyn’s Joy
- Strawberry’n’Cream
- Wine-eyed Jill
- Silver Years
