What to do with Dahlias? [View all]



My late husband had a glamorous bright pink Dahlia bed growing in front of the house.

He used to love keeping it up and it was beautiful!

He has passed away and a few new ones were popping up.

Unfortunately, the landscape place I pay to maintain the yard cut them all down after I had specifically told them not to! They are gone now.

I know nothing about Dahlias and how to keep them growing.

Any tips for me on what I should do?

I'm a know-nothing when it comes to gardening and Dahlias.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
