Eden Brothers has always come through for me with their dahlias, except once. I ordered Penhill Watermelon and no flowers appeared the first season, so I kept them in the ground, hoping for better results. The plants were healthy, for the next 2 years, but still no flowers. When I finally gave up, I dug them up and discovered so many new tubers, I just had to give them another try. My photo is proof that some plants may need time to perform, but they are so worth the wait.
