Peaches N' Cream Dahlia Tuber

Formal decorative dahlias are characterized by their symmetrical, uniform petal arrangement. The petals are broad and flat, reflexing backward toward the stem to create a sophisticated, rounded, and highly structured bloom.

Because this variety reaches a mature height of 4.5 feet, you should space your tubers approximately 18 to 24 inches apart. This ensures adequate airflow, which helps prevent fungal issues and promotes healthier, more vigorous blooms.

While the variety is known for its signature peach and cream palette, each bloom can vary slightly in its color distribution. Factors like soil pH, temperature, and sunlight exposure can influence the intensity of the blush and peach tones on individual flowers.

Yes, given their 54-inch height, these dahlias will require support to prevent the stems from snapping in high winds or under the weight of the blooms. Installing a sturdy stake or a garden cage at the time of planting is recommended.

Dahlias are tender perennials and cannot survive freezing ground temperatures. In colder regions, you must dig up the tubers in the fall after the first frost, clean them, and store them in a cool, dry, frost-free location until the following spring.

While they can be grown in containers, you will need a large pot—at least 5 to 7 gallons—with excellent drainage. Ensure the container is heavy enough to support the 4.5-foot height of the plant so it does not tip over.
