You can grow dahlias from seed but they are less likely to come true,
ie you might end up with a funnioisity. Buying tubers should
guarantee you get what it shows on the packet.
When you grow seed, tubers form which you can save (supposing it's one
you like). They are exactly the same plant.


Can't agree more! I got good growing dahlias in my garden from the
dahlia tubers I got from Lynch Creek Farm.

They have a decent selection...

Don't deliver to the UK though.
