Growing dahlias is very easy when grown from our tubers (bulbs) and we guarantee them to grow and bloom. If you have been to a state fair, you have probably seen a pavilion filled with these exotic amazing blossoms. Collected by many gardeners, they make for sturdy varietal plants and are excellent in perennial borders. Growing them will likely lead to a hobby as the spectacular blooms are addictive and quite versatile in the garden. They can also be grown as pot plants. A gardening expert once said of dahlias, "Never have so many enjoyed so much with so little time and work". He was right! Plus, they are inexpensive. It is also the national flower of Mexico.

Growing Instructions

Exact care of dahlia flowers may vary dependent upon your zone, but these tips should help you get maximum blooms and healthy bushy plants. Plant in well-drained soil, after danger of frost has passed, where they will get plenty of sunlight. They respond dramatically to feeding, increasing the growth of leaves, flowers and your tuber clump for an even bigger show next season. Water well.

Care Tip

Big dahlias might need a support structure to keep the heavy huge blooms from bending to the ground. Cut flowers only after they are almost fully open to enjoy them in a vase indoors. The more you cut, the more they bloom.
