Know before you buy
These dinnerplate dahlias produce impressive, full blooms that can reach up to 10 inches in diameter.
Given their mature height of 36 to 48 inches and large, heavy blooms, it is recommended to provide support or staking to keep the upright stems from bending or breaking in high winds.
While they are best suited for garden beds due to their size, you can grow them in large, deep containers provided you have adequate drainage and enough space to support their 48-inch height.
Dahlia tubers are not winter-hardy in colder climates. If you live in a zone lower than 8, you will need to dig up and store the tubers indoors over the winter after the first frost.
Brigitta Alida dahlias require full sun exposure, meaning at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day, to produce their signature large, vibrant blooms.
Yes, their strong stems and dramatic size make them an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements. For the longest vase life, cut the stems early in the morning when the flowers are fully hydrated.
