Dahlia Decorative Mix Bulbs

Dahlia Decorative Mix offers an array of towering decorative dahlias that grow 36 to 48 inches tall, crowned with impressively large, vibrant blooms. Each random assortment is uniquely colorful, ensuring a stunning variety for your garden or arrangements. These dahlias deliver endless beauty from midsummer to fall, often up to the first frost. And the best part? The more you cut these exotic blooms, the more they'll reward you with fresh flowers. Be sure to harvest blooms when nearly fully open for the best display, as they do not open significantly after cutting.

Featuring clump-forming, tender perennials (Zones 9-11), the Dahlia Decorative Mix™ combines upright plants that thrive in borders, beds, and even patio pots. While stunning in containers, these tall dahlias truly shine when grouped or mass-planted for maximum impact. For optimal performance, consider staking or caging these robust beauties.

These dahlias are easy to grow, favoring sunny spots with nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. Improve heavy clay or sandy soils with organic amendments like peat moss or ground bark for the best growing conditions. Water thoroughly at planting and continue regular watering during their active growth period, ensuring roots stay hydrated. Pinch back stems at 8 to 10 inches tall and trim taller stems to encourage bushy growth and abundant blooms. Fertilize in early spring and late summer, mulch to retain soil moisture and coolness, and divide tubers in the fall for years of enjoyment.

Plant tubers in warm spring soil after frost danger has passed, spacing them 12 to 36 inches apart and 3 inches deep. For an early start, pot tubers indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost in small pots with potting soil, and transplant them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

NOTE: In Zones 3-7, lift and store tubers before frost, keeping them in dry peat moss or vermiculite at 50°F. Alternatively, enjoy them as annuals for dazzling blooms in any region.
