Linda's Baby - Read Description

In full transparency, somewhere along the way, I believe multiple versions of Linda's Baby' dahlia came into circulation in the US. We purchased this version of Linda's Baby from a long-time dahlia supplier about five years ago. We have since seen two other versions of 'Linda's Baby' available in online sales. The key differences are the color (pink to peach), number of notched ray florets and stem strength. Other versions look much closer to a pink 'Sweet Suzanne.'   The dahlia photographed is the 'Linda's Baby' dahlia tuber you will receive. It has the strongest stems of any dahlia we have grown and produces many, many seeds.  It has been a seed parent to several pretty seedlings all of which have amazing stems. While the flower itself may have some flaws, we keep this dahlia in our breeding patch for dahlia hybridizing reasons.

Note: Amazingly strong stems. Tends to blow its center in hot weather but produces many seeds.

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!
