Dahlia
I have a problem with my dahlia's grown from seed.  60% of them did not flower but produced a pointy seed head and then turned black or one leaf came out.  Such a shame as the ones that came out were lovely.  Could anyone help me please.  Tried by Veronica3

Dahlia Giving up the Ghost
I had 2 dozen very healthy dahlia seedlings that were potted on and growing well but over the last 10 days the true leaves are first curling up then wilting and dying.  The seed leaves remain fine.  They have good light, warmth and sufficient water by Botticelliwoman

My dahlia tubers are not doing anything
I overwintered my dahlia tubers in the garage - I planted them in compost around mid March (same time as Monty Don).  On GW last week he took cuttings from his ones but mine have not done anything at all.  Nothing is coming through at all Does by Lavender Lady

Hey James, I hunted down DAHLIA merckii earlier this year. I love it, but dont know how to keep it through winter. It is still in a little pot in my coldframe, should I cut back the foliage and dry it like your conventional DAHLIA? I understand by christina20340

dahlias
A little bit more information would help-how do you know they have died-where they tubers, cuttings,plant bought in? Slugs can decimate them. They need a lot of water, should not be a problem this month?? When did you plant them? Are these Dahlia by lisa roberts

Cut back kniphofia foliage?
, GreenDahlia I chop mine back ruthlessly, which freshens it up and also limits its spread somewhat. Mine, however, is the common or garden red/orange variety.  I'd chop it all back now, before it begins to grow again.   If you garden in a sheltered spot by GreenDahlia

Dhalias
have to be before they are put into the pots in the garden?  Does it depend on the weather, does it have to be warm before they go out?  Any help would be apprecialted.  Space on the windowsill is limited as I have seeds growing too. They are not frost by lavenderlass
