    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Semi-Cactus) - Black Narcissus

    I bought these in February of 2023. They did fabulous. I was exceptionally impressed and normally, I'm typically prepared to be disappointed by some degree. I dug them up in the fall, wash them and stored them in cardboard boxes with straw. Replanted them this spring and they did really well again. I think these are wonderful and would totally recommend them. They would be easy to grow a good display even for beginning gardeners.

    Not much to say. They never sprouted, I went to dig them up… my fingers went into the dirt and into a pile of moldy mush.

    Wondering if blooms are more likely in the second year. Got some (either rip city or these) and received some as a gift for a housewarming. No blooms- two didn’t make it at all.

    These grow well if a little taller than expected, but they are not semi-cactus, they’re really more like “decorative” dahlias.
