A tender perennial that is vigorous and fast growing. Outstanding addition to the flower border or container garden. An old fashioned favorite and superb cut flower. A gorgeous color. Flowers bloom first year and add a lovely spot of color in the late summer garden. Heat resistant.

Your Dahlias will bloom from mid summer until frost. They are a welcome addition to the garden late in the season when other flowers are fading and are long lasting cut flowers. These tuberous roots must be lifted from the ground in zones 7 and lower.

Planting instructions: Plant Dahlias in well-drained soil in a sunny location. Supply ample moisture and fertilizer during the growing season. When the plant reaches 1-1/2' in height, trim entire plant to 1'. In about two weeks trim the plant again back to about 1-1/2'. This will encourage your Dahlia to produce an abundance
of flowers. Remove all spent flowers.

Easy to grow
1. Dig a hole 3-4" deep.
2. Set the tuberous root firmly in place.
3. Cover the tuberous root with soil and water thoroughly.

When to Plant Outdoors
