Know before you buy
These are considered dinner plate dahlias, meaning they produce impressive, large blooms measuring between 6 and 8 inches in diameter.
Yes, they are well-suited for containers. Ensure your pot is large enough to accommodate the root system and provides excellent drainage to keep the tubers healthy.
While these dahlias are perennial in zones 8-10, they are not winter-hardy in colder regions. In zones 3-7, you should dig up and store the tubers in a cool, dry place once the first frost kills the foliage, then replant them in the spring.
You can encourage larger, more substantial blooms by pinching back the stems during the growing season. This redirects the plant's energy into producing fewer, but significantly larger, flowers.
Absolutely. Their long stems and large, bi-colored blooms make them an excellent choice for cut flower bouquets.
For the best results, plant them in a location that receives full sun. This ensures the plants have the energy required to produce their signature large, vibrant blooms throughout the summer.
