Dahlia Breeding Experiment

Dahlia Breeding Experiment

March 22, 2023 12 pm – 1 pm on Zoom

Unlike tubers, which are direct copies of the plant they were saved from, dahlia seeds are a mix of the parent plant and the pollen from other dahlias. Dahlias have 8 sets of chromosomes so saving seeds is the ultimate garden gamble. There are endless possibilities of colours, patterns, shapes, sizes, petal count, height….no two will be the same. Join Shannon Whelan of Euclid Farms, as she discusses their dahlia breeding project, highlighting some of the new dahlia mixes and lessons learned.
