(36-48" tall) Rolled petals tightly pack the 4" diameter blooms of 'Cornel Bronze' Ball Dahlia, creating beautifully symmetrical orbs in shades of sun-kissed bronzed orange. The weather-resistant flowers perch atop tall, sturdy stems, making them a standout in the garden. Ball Dahlias are appreciated for their weather-resistance, with durable blooms atop tall, stiff stems. Plant extra for bouquets — the color, size, and shape of the flowers complement other summer blooms, and they boast a long vase life, too. Bring your patio or deck to life by growing these beauties in containers, where you can enjoy them up close. Plant the tubers 1- 2" deep in full sun and well-drained soil. You can get a head start by planting them in pots indoors in early spring. Keep soil evenly moist and look forward to blooms from mid-summer until frost. Although grown as an annual in zones 3-7, you can dig up the tubers at the end of the season, store them indoors, and replant them next spring, making Dahlias a wise investment for year-after-year enjoyment.
