Since dahlias don’t open significantly after harvest, it’s essential to pick them at the right stage. Harvest when blooms are about three-quarters open but still fresh, avoiding overly mature flowers. Examine the back of the flower heads, ensuring the petals are firm and lush rather than papery or slightly dehydrated.
Properly harvested and conditioned, these blooms will last about 5 days in a vase.
