Know before you buy
These dahlias reach a mature height of approximately 44 inches. Given their height, you may want to provide some light staking to keep the stems upright during windy weather.
These tubers are hardy in zones 8 through 11. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to dig up the tubers in the fall after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over the winter.
Dahlias thrive on being cut; the more you harvest the blooms for bouquets, the more the plant will produce. Aim to cut stems regularly throughout the summer and early fall to keep the plant productive until the first frost.
For the best bloom production, plant your tubers in a location that receives full sun. This means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day.
Space your tubers 12 to 18 inches apart. This spacing ensures adequate airflow between the plants, which helps prevent fungal issues and allows each plant enough room to develop its root system.
Yes, the Strawberry and Cream variety is excellent for supporting local ecosystems. The open structure of the decorative blooms makes them a favorite for bees and butterflies.
