A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2006 Dalhia

I'm so excited. The dalhia that Servantsheart gave me is starting to sprout. That was really fast. I'm so looking forward to having that plant in my garden. I just had to share.

thats great

my dahlias produced green leaves, but no flowers. they kind of stopped growing a month ago. Oh well, I hope you have a better result than I did!

Claire,
Do you see any signs of bugs eating your dahlia leaves? I have a large white dinner plate dahlia that seems to take forever between sprouting green and actually blooming. This year I noticed the snails and slugs have found it so I'm fighting that battle now on top of being impaitent to begin with.

Good luck. I love dahlias. They add so much texture to a garden.

And congrats TK. Its always so nice when your bulbs bloom for you.

Thankyou both for sharing in my happiness. I hope the slugs and snails don't find it. But if they do I'll definitely be getting out the bait. I love these flowers and really want to add some flowers that are good for cut arrangements to my garden.

What is the best thing to use to get kill the slug. and cricket. i went out and looked and they were in the middle of my flower heads.

for slugs stale beer if you can stand getting rid of the dead ones. Crickets I haven't a clue.
