Dahlia Cutting Tips for Long-Lasting Arrangements

Medium to small dahlias make the best cut flowers for arrangements. Avoid single-petaled dahlias, which tend to drop petals. Large dahlias can be floated in a glass bowl.

• Cut flowers early morning or evening.
• Place stems in warm water (100°F) for ½ hour, then in cold water.
• Display in cool location to extend vase life (~1 week).
• Change vase water daily.
