I dried a few dahlias just by hanging them upside down in the basement earlier this summer. At first I didn't really like them because they don't look much like their fresh form. Then I noticed how unique each one is when dried and I am really getting into it. I was just going to dry a few to make wreaths for my parents and stepdaughter, but it has snowballed into me hanging at least half of the dahlias I cut the last couple weeks so I can see all the varieties when dry. I especially like dahlias with a lot of long petals, multiple colors, and variegation for drying. Single color poms and balls are nice because they're sturdy, but they're more predictable. Pics would be way better in natural light but I haven't had a chance in daytime.
Hollyhill Starburst is super cool because the petals curl up.
The top ones are WB's Misbehavin' and bottom Fuzzy Wuzzy.
Sandia Nocturne dries an amazing nearly black purple.
Skipley Reboot dries a nearly black burgandy.
AC White Rabbit top and Caribbean Fantasy bottom. These are way cooler in person.
This was a mislabel so not sure variety but it was made to be dried!
