Andrea McDowell on Instagram: "One of the most common things I hear during dahlia season is that dahlias don’t last long once they’re cut 🌼 People often say they’re beautiful in the garden but disappointing in a vase. The truth is, that’s a complete myth! Dahlias can last beautifully in a vase for up to a week or more but the key is knowing exactly when to pick them ✂️ Dahlias are a bit particular when it comes to harvesting 🌿 Unlike roses or zinnias, which can open more after they’ve been cut
