Know before you buy
Anemone-form dahlias feature a dense cluster of tubular florets in the center, surrounded by a ring of flatter outer petals. This creates a unique, multi-textured look that stands out in both garden beds and floral arrangements.
If you live in a region with hard freezes (zones 7 and below), you must lift the tubers in the fall after the first frost. Store them in a cool, dry, and frost-free location until you are ready to replant them in the spring.
Since these dahlias grow to about 3 feet tall, space your tubers approximately 18 to 24 inches apart. This ensures adequate airflow, which helps prevent fungal issues and keeps the plants healthy throughout the season.
Yes, they are considered beginner-friendly because they are vigorous growers that bloom early in the season. As long as you provide them with full sun and well-draining soil, they require very little maintenance beyond regular watering.
Absolutely. The open, accessible structure of the anemone-form bloom makes it easy for pollinators to reach the nectar, making this variety a reliable choice for supporting local bee and butterfly populations.
Russells Mills offers a 100% quality guarantee on all tubers. If your shipment arrives in poor condition or is not true to the variety, contact customer support to resolve the issue under their quality policy.
