It is easy, most interesting and fascinating to grow Dahlias from seed and enjoy 
the surprise of new colors and forms. If the seed is started early, plants will bloom 
the same season. Single and small flowered varieties reproduce fairly true to color 
and type, but large flowering types will produce some singles and semi-doubles.
