Know before you buy
These dahlias arrive in a dormant state, looking like small, potato-like structures rather than established plants. This is the standard way to ship dahlias, as it allows them to establish a strong root system once planted directly into your garden soil.
Yes, but you will need to treat them as annuals or lift the tubers. Since these are hardy only in zones 8-10, you should dig up the tubers in the fall after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over the winter to replant the following spring.
Absolutely. Because they reach a mature height of 34-40 inches, ensure you use a large, sturdy pot with excellent drainage to support their growth and prevent the soil from staying too wet.
These plants require full sun, which means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Providing this amount of light is essential for achieving the best bloom production and maintaining sturdy stems.
Yes, these dahlias are excellent cut flowers. With blooms reaching up to 8 inches wide and a variety of forms, they make a dramatic statement in indoor bouquets; just be sure to cut them in the early morning when the stems are well-hydrated.
Plant the tubers 1 to 2 inches deep in well-drained soil. Avoid planting them too deeply, as this can delay sprouting or cause the tubers to rot before they have a chance to establish.
