Know before you buy
Yes, these are excellent for containers. Their compact growth habit makes them well-suited for pots, provided you use a container with good drainage and enough depth to accommodate their root system.
Mirella and Stolze Von Berlin dahlias are prolific bloomers that provide continuous color from summer through the first frost of autumn.
While they are compact, dahlias reaching 36 inches can benefit from a small support stake or a decorative cage, especially if your patio or garden is in a particularly windy area.
Absolutely. Ball dahlias are prized by florists for their uniform shape and long vase life, making them one of the best choices for home-grown bouquets.
These dahlias are hardy in zones 9 through 11. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to lift and store the tubers indoors over the winter to protect them from freezing temperatures.
Plant the tubers approximately 1 inch deep. Ensure they are spaced about 18 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and healthy development.
