Good advice, Bill. So do you find that the tomato cages are sufficient
to support the dahlias without them tumbling over? I usually find that
the tomato cages aren't even sufficient for tomatoes! :P

Thanks for the input!

The support rings that I use are the larger (taller) ones,
not the "cheap" ones sold by places like Wal-Mart. They
work well for most Dahlias but on the really tall ones I use
a ring and a wood stake (6 foot tomato stake pounded about
15 inches into the ground). I tie the main Dahlia stalk to
the stake and the ring supports the rest of the plant. That
has worked well for me and I have been growing Dahlias for
many, many years.
