Know before you buy
A full clump means you are receiving the entire cluster of tubers as they were harvested, rather than a single divided tuber. This provides a larger root system, which typically results in more vigorous plant growth and a higher volume of blooms during the first season.
You should space your tubers 12 to 18 inches apart. This spacing ensures adequate airflow, which is essential for preventing fungal issues and allowing the strong, upright stems to develop properly.
While the Maya variety is known for its strong, upright stems, they grow to a height of 4 to 5 feet. In areas prone to high winds or heavy rain, it is recommended to provide some form of staking or support to keep the tall stems from leaning or snapping.
Yes, they are an excellent choice for floral design. Their graceful spray formation and long, sturdy stems make them easy to harvest and arrange, while their champagne and blush color palette adds a sophisticated, luminous quality to bouquets.
Dahlia Maya thrives in full sun, meaning it needs at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Providing this amount of light is crucial for the plant to produce its signature 5 to 6-inch blooms consistently throughout the season.
