Need some cut flower tips?

• The more you cut the more they bloom!
• Give you Dahlias a longer life by immersing the stems in boiling water for a few seconds – this will help to keep them fresh!
• Cut your Dahlias just above a set of leaf nodes and side buds – new shoots with grow from the nodes.
• Change your vase water every 2-3 days for maximum Dahlia lifespan.
