I planted some Dahlia today.
I hope they grow right and end up looking like this-



Does anyone have any experience with these flowers.

3. The tend to be easy to grow and very pretty
The mistake I used to make is not staking them. The giant dahlia's in your picture are prolific and have a habit of growing tall, putting on a big flower and toppling over.

Stake them early if you can.
