Harvest Life for Dahlias: The perfect time to harvest a dahlia is when the bloom is about three-quarters or half a way until ripe, usually best to pick in the early mornings or cool evening. After cutting, the dahlia does not significantly open, so it is important to avoid harvesting at the bud stage or when the flower is fully bloomed and past its prime state.
