Know before you buy
Given their 44-inch height, these dahlias are best suited for large, deep containers or directly in the garden bed. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage and is heavy enough to support the plants as they grow to their full height.
While the Scarlet Blush Duo features sturdy stems, dahlias reaching 44 inches can be top-heavy, especially during windy weather or heavy rain. Providing a simple stake or garden hoop early in the season will help keep them upright and protected.
These dahlias are hardy in zones 8 through 11. If you live in a colder region, you can treat them as annuals or dig up the tubers in the fall after the first frost, store them in a cool, dry place, and replant them the following spring.
Dahlias thrive on being cut. Regularly harvesting the blooms for arrangements prevents the plant from setting seed, which signals it to produce more flowers throughout the summer.
While no plant is completely immune to hungry wildlife, these dahlias are generally avoided by deer and rabbits. Their texture and scent profile make them a much less attractive snack compared to more vulnerable garden plants.
A No. 1 tuber size refers to a high-quality, mature tuber with at least two to three 'eyes' or growth points. This size is ideal for ensuring a vigorous start and a strong, healthy plant during the first growing season.
