NotWhatItWasnt Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Has anyone here grown Dahlias and if so can you offer any advice on how to, pests, when to sow etc? I grow them in the UK and a pal who lives close to Phayuha Khiri would also like to grow them. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 No, and I have never seen them. I'm pretty sure that it is too hot and dry here. Come to that I wasn't aware that you could buy Dahlia seeds either. Give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I saw many dahlias being grown up around Mae Hong Son, when we lived up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgmr Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I seem to remember that there is an annual exhibition of dahlias held at Korat each year. Sorry but I don't remember any other details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotWhatItWasnt Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Thanks to all for taking the time to reply. I'll have a go and I'll update the thread with how I get on later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotWhatItWasnt Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 Found some people growing them in the Philippines on a Facebook Dahlia group and was told that they can be grown here in Thailand at any time of the year. Started a few off outside using green netting as shade. . . . and they have germinated and are coming along nicely. I'll continue to update the thread.

NotWhatItWasnt Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Overall the germination rate was poorer than in the UK - Around a 50% success rate - Though this could be as I germinate them in a heated propagator in the UK. When potted on, quite a few die compared to hardly any in the UK. I'm back in the UK now and will update when I'm sent more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotWhatItWasnt Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 A late update They were looking OK when I left & then I was told that they had all died. I suspect that they were over watered as I saw someone doing this, despite my saying that Dahlias prefer to be on the dry side. I'm going to have another go this year.
