Bit early yet....i've taken about 80 cuttings, 8 rooted, and none of them will be used for showing.
How many tubers of each variety do you use for cuttings?

I use 8 for the bankers and between 2-4 for the others.

I bought a plant with no label to tell you what it was, Priced at £1.99 all i know, it is a dahlia plant. ;D

Im very jealous of you all and youre cuttings, my dahlias have only been bought out of their boxes a couple off weeks ago as have no heated bench or heating in the greenhouse. Only one has just started stirring but hopefully they will all start sprouting soon, its other halfs fault as his flipping chrysanth plants are cluttering up all the space in the spare bedroom where my dahlias would normally start off.

Dahlia enthusiasts and Chysanths enthusiasts do not see eye to eye. ;D

Only Ryecroft Magnum of all the varieties not showing anything...yet it looks the most solid of all of them. No logic to it.
