Fill your late-season garden with a delightful array of candy-colored blossoms that appear in the pollinator-pleasing single flowers of our Bee Friendly Dahlia Mix. Our seedling mix blends colors in a range of hues including pink, orange, yellow, white, and red with some exhibiting contrasting bands, flares, and halos. Single-flowering Dahlias open broadly to expose their golden centers, making it easy for bees, butterflies and other winged creatures to access nectar and pollen.
The flowers are held on tall, slender stems that are great for cutting. Exclusive. The Dahlia genus is made up of tuberous plants native to Mexico and Central America, celebrated for their wide range of colors, sizes, and flower forms, making them a favorite among gardeners and florists alike.
With thousands of cultivars, Dahlias offer an incredible variety for any garden design, from small border plants to striking dinner plate-sized blooms, showcasing their versatility and ornamental appeal. They bloom from midsummer through fall, providing vibrant displays. Dahlias prefer full sun (though partial shade is acceptable), well-drained soil, and even moisture.
They are perennial in Zones 8-10. In colder zones they are treated as annuals and need to be overwintered indoors. Please note: Dahlias should be planted outside once the danger of frost has passed and soil temperature has reached approximately 60°F.
The tubers may be stored in their bags in a cool, dark, dry spot until warmer weather arrives (the bottom of a closet in a cool room or a box in the basement work nicely; do not refrigerate), or they may be prepotted indoors to start them growing before they are transplanted into the garden.,Fill your late-season garden with a delightful array of candy-colored blossoms that appear in the
