    Varieties of annual dahlias

 Annuals are called dahlias, which are grown from seeds. These plants are short, from 30 cm to 1 meter in height and bloom two to three months after sowing the seeds. If you are still unable (or not willing) to keep dahlia tubers in winter, then planting one-year varieties will be a good way out. There are these dahlias and other advantages:

Seeds for seedlings begin to sow in mid-February and sow until the end of March. When growing dahlia seedlings usually do not arise. It is only necessary to take into account that in warmth and with a lack of light the seedlings will quickly stretch.

Therefore, after picking, the plants should be placed in a bright and cool room. This may be a loggia, a greenhouse or a cold greenhouse.

Breed annuals Dahlia and seeds, and tubers. In the fall, you can collect seeds and use them for planting in the spring. And you can dig up nodules and with proper winter storage, next year they will grow flowers that will be even better than they were in the previous season.
