This is my first time growing dahlias. Planted the tubers about over a month ago. I forgot the names but I know they're dinnerplate dahlias, 3 of them are purple and white combination and the other 2 are white. They came in one package and was 50% off at Home Depot. Few weeks ago, some bugs were munching on the leaves but I took care of those pesky bugs. They are now roughly over 2 feet tall and are growing and branching out just fine.
My questions are:
When do I expect my first bloom so I can do the dahlia dance like everybody else?
How tall do they get and how big do they get? Are they going to take over my bed?
Here's some pictures:
