Dahlia Giant Hybrid Mix

6 pack (72 cell size tray)

Dahlia variabilis

Annual

These dahlias are started from seed. Throughout the season, the dahlias will form tubers that you can dig up at the end of the season to store for the following year if you wish! This is a mix of blooms is salmon, coral, white, light yellow, red, and lavender. Blooms sizes range from 3-5" and are double, semi-double, or single blooms. 

Space: 9-12 inches. 

Height: 40-60 inches

Full Sun

Days to Maturity: 75-90 days.

Harvest: For fresh cut flowers, harvest before blooms are completely open

If you would like to save the tubers for next year, cut back plants 2-4" above the soil line.  Do this after plants have died back (usually after a couple frosts) but before the ground is frozen. Then dig the tubers and remove excess soil. Let tubers cure for 1-3 days in a warm location out of direct sunlight with lots of airflow. Then pack tubers in peat or vermiculite inside perforated boxes or crates.
