A show-worthy dahlia doesn't happen by accident. Join seasoned growers Peggy Boruchow Arnette and Libby Eustis for a conversation rooted in the practical art of growing a bloom that's ready for the judge's eye. Whether you're starting from a tuber, a cutting, or a seed, this talk will walk you through the decisions and details that matter most — from soil amendments and staking to the small daily habits that separate a good bloom from a great one.
