Note: It's hard to photograph how stunning this flower is in person. There are so many colors and textures in one bloom. It stands out as a beauty in a dahlia patch. A quick note on the seeds: we tried to hybridize from AC Cougar and while it did produce seeds, the seeds were VERY long, thin and curved. The shape was distinct and something I haven't seen before in dahlia seeds. Very few seeds were viable, but we are excited to see what the others bring. 

This listing is for one (1) dahlia tuber. All tubers will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail beginning in April, weather permitting.

Dahlia care: Wait until all danger of frost is past before planting. Dahlias should not be planted outdoors until ground temperature reaches 55-60 degrees. Hold off planting if the forecast is predicting rain. Overwatering newly planted tubers may lead to rot.

Dahlias thrive in rich, well-drained soil. Use slug and snail bait at planting, don't wait until the sprout appears.

Dahlias should be planted in full sun in a location that receives a minimum of 6-8 hours of sun.

Most dahlias grow quite tall and require support, similar to tomato plants.

Most importantly, I hope these tubers grow into beautiful plants that bring you joy for years to come. Thank you for supporting my small business!
