Rating My 2023 Dahlias

After an extensive winter hiatus, I have finally completed my dahlias ratings from 2023!

It's been a weird winter here in Southeastern Minnesota, zone 5b (formerly 4a). It was foggy and rainy on Christmas, we've had barely any snow, and forecasts for the rest of February are in the 50s! ACK.

Whatever the weather, winter in the midwest is a great time to rest, reflect on the past year and plan for the upcoming growing season. This review of the dahlias I grew in 2023 is to help me remember what to spend time on for 2024, and more importantly, what to let go! I hope this helps you too as you decide what to plant (or not) for the upcoming growing season.

Happy gardening.
