Know before you buy
Idlewild Blooms occasionally divides larger tubers to ensure they fit shipping requirements. A cut tuber is perfectly healthy and will grow just as well as a whole one, provided the cut area has calloused over.
You can expect this variety to reach a mature height of approximately 4.5 feet. Because of this height, it is recommended to provide some form of staking or support to keep the stems upright throughout the season.
As a miniature formal decorative variety, the blooms typically measure up to 4 inches in diameter. These smaller, perfectly formed flowers are ideal for both garden displays and cut flower arrangements.
Yes, Peaches N Cream is a reliable choice for gardeners of all levels. It is an early bloomer, meaning you will see flowers sooner in the season compared to many other dahlia cultivars.
Yes, this cultivar is known for producing good seed. If you leave the spent blooms on the plant to mature, you can harvest the seeds, though keep in mind that dahlias grown from seed may not look exactly like the parent plant.
It is normal for dahlia tubers to look slightly dehydrated or imperfect after winter storage. As long as the tuber is firm and has a viable eye, it is guaranteed to be plantable and will plump up once it is in the soil.
