How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
Dahlias are perennial in zones 8-10, but in cooler zones, tubers can be dug after frost comes, stored over winter, then re-planted the following spring. Grow Dahlias in a sunny spot, in average soil that drains well. Keep moisture consistent once it begins to grow and enjoy a non-stop color parade. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers and pinch off small side buds to encourage larger flowers if desired.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.

"Sturdy stems, long lasting blooms (for a dahlia) heavy producer"
"I got 3 roots of the Boom Boom white dahlia. Two were for mmy front bed, so i just stuck the other one in the bed beside my house. The front two are about 2-3 feet high, but the one beside the house is 4 ro 5 feet tall and has several blooms, and growing more! I've left the blooms on the plant and dead headed them, but I'm certain they would make lovely and long lasting cut flowers as well. Very pretty semi-ball shaped, off white flowers."
"One of the tubers was in bad shape when I received them. The 2nd one rotted during presprout. The one that survived is doing get. I love boom boom white!"
"American Meadows has the expertise to store tubers so they are at their optimal performance."
"Even though only two of three tubers came up, these plants were strong and tall and a great addition to my patch and color palette. They did bloom a bit later than most others, but were floriferous once they got started."
"These dahlias are great. They grew to be big and beautiful, almost 6 foot tall! Only downside to such huge growth is that they became too heavy and fell over. But simply tethered them to a stake and till standing strong!"
"so many flowers and I give armfuls away. great filler, great for cutting"
"This was the most prolific of the dozens of varieties of dahlias I have grown so far. Much appreciated in my short growing season! This plant pumped out the blooms and was extremely versatile in bouquets. Also very pleases with its vase life. It will always be in my garden!"
"Wonderful plants with many long lasting blooms- totally recommend. Mine is taller than specified (a good 5 feet, rather than 3- but it's a new bed and everything in it is doing great and taller than expected."
"I ordered these tubers last season to grow for my wedding bouquet. They pumped out blooms and were gorgeous. I was able to overwinter the tubers (zone 5) and this year I planted 12 tubers, all from the 3 I ordered in 2019. Definitely a worthwhile buy!"
