Know before you buy
These tubers should be planted in the spring once the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. Ensure they are placed in a location that receives full sun.
Labyrinth Twotone Dahlias typically reach a height of 36 to 48 inches. Because they produce large, heavy blooms, it is recommended to provide stakes or a support structure to keep the stems upright.
Dahlias are perennial in zones 8-11, but gardeners in colder climates can still grow them as annuals. Simply dig up the tubers in the fall after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over the winter to replant the following spring.
To encourage continuous flowering throughout the season, remove faded or spent blooms regularly. This prevents the plant from putting energy into seed production and redirects it toward creating new flowers.
Yes, they are excellent for cut flower arrangements. Their sturdy stems and large, ruffled blooms make them a standout choice for vases and bouquets.
Dahlias thrive in rich, well-draining soil. If your garden soil is heavy clay, consider amending it with compost or organic matter to improve drainage and nutrient content.
