I’m looking for varieties that have unusual colors and forms, making them ideal for flower arranging and design work. Over the last few years, as I’ve gotten deeper into the process, I’ve really tried to focus my efforts. Most of the dahlia breeders I’ve talked to only save one out of every hundred seedlings they grow, often even less. No matter how much you try to guide them in a direction (hand crossing, isolating breeding pairs, bagging individual blooms) in the end you don’t really know what you’re going to get. I approach dahlia breeding like one giant treasure hunt. Out of those 13,000 seedlings I ended up with about 500 promising varieties that I flagged, dug, divided, and saved to observe the following year.

If you want to learn how to collect seeds off of your dahlias and breed new varieties, we dedicated an entire chapter to the subject in Discovering Dahlias, starting on page 88. It is probably one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever grown!

That season I collected as many seeds as I possibly could, and the following season we had enough to plant out a patch of 13,000 seedlings-an entire field block. Waiting for each new flower to open to see what emerged became addicting and I just couldn’t get enough. My first dahlia seedling patch consisted of a single bed (a few hundred plants) tucked in my backyard, and of all the things I grew that season that one little row was by far the most exciting. The first year I learned about how to breed new varieties, I collected some seed pods from my favorite varieties in the field and the hoop houses (‘Caf é au Lait’, ‘Appleblossom’, ‘Peaches N’ Cream’, and ‘Waltzing Mathilda’) and saved them aside to grow out the following season.

And dahlia breeding certainly falls into that camp.

It’s funny how my little side weekend projects inevitably become the next big thing we’re working on. breeding), I got completely swept up in the process and it has since become a huge part of my life. Once I dipped a toe into growing dahlias from seed (i.e. It was actually a good 10 years into my journey with them that I learned that there was a difference between growing dahlias from tubers or cuttings, which is how you clone a variety, and growing them from seed, which is how you create or breed a brand new variety. Please correct me if my rationale is wrong, conventional thinking does not necessarily apply to a video game but I’m having a difficult time seeing past that.When I started growing dahlias I had no idea that you could grow them from seed. As I see it right now the farming model is for aesthetics or simply a support mechanic to supplement gathering. I’ll spend more time harvesting then enjoying farming.

But as I see it right now, I don’t really see the point for all my efforts. The introduction to farming insinuates a massive production farm, which I would love to do on a grand scale. It creates a market and an incentive to use my plots to and make an actual farm. Not looking for massive quantities, but if I plant 100 plants then I think there should be at least a way to harvest 125 seeds or better yet it I plant 1000 plants 1400 return (of course there would be variations to returns based on setup and conditions, that would make it more fun and challenging). I don’t understand the reason you can’t produce more seeds than you can gather. I’m sure this has been discussed, but I didn’t see a post when searching.

I’m a PS4 player, so just getting up to speed on farming, and have only tried the berries as of yet.
