Dinner plate Dahlia Blend includes Kelvin Floodlight, Tropical Sunset, Lady Darlene and Dana colorful varieties with yellow, orange and red-orange blooms. Their fully double blooms range from 8 in. to 10 in. across in a wide, stunning display. Typically, dahlias must be dug up in fall and stored in a frost-free location in areas that get below 35 degrees. However, over-wintering success can be achieved when tubers are planted lower in the ground than normal. For a more floriferous, bushy plant, remove spent flower heads and support stems where necessary. Snip off side buds and grow large, show-worthy central blooms.
Each offer includes 5 dormant tubers or roots
Space plants approximately 24 to 30 inches apart for best results
Prefers sandy, well-drained soil, but will tolerate a wide range of soils except heavy clay
Hardy in USDA zones 3 to 8
Dahlias are not hardy, so the tubers need to be dug up in fall, dry out the tubers for a few days, and then store in dry peatmoss in a cool, dry and frost free location
