(30-42” tall x 24” wide) Pink and yellow come together to create something special for the summer and fall garden in ‘Star Elite’ Cactus Dahlia. ‘Star Elite’ is a cactus form of dahlia, characterized by strong, uniform petals narrowed from base to tip – and the bushy, green foliage provides a perfect backdrop for the display. Use ‘Star Elite’ Cactus Dahlia in the sunny summer garden to perk up tired flower beds and keep excitement in your landscape right up until the cool autumn days draw in. Dahlia tubers should be planted in well-drained, average to rich soils in a sunny spot. Though they can tolerate some shade, flowering is reduced and flowers may need additional staking. Keep plants deadheaded to promote abundant flowering, or pinch the plants back early in the growing season to promote larger (but fewer) flowers. Dahlias make excellent cut flowers and are often visited by butterflies late in the season.
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.

"This plant was so healthy and produced numerous blooms that looked super healthy and pretty along my patio! LOVE IT!"
"I'm not sure I got the right tuber, as mine doesn't seem to have those cactus-style petals, however, this has been my best performing Dahlia of the season!! Long stems, lots of blooms, and healthy plants. So many compliments and friends asking what she's called! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is the lack of cactus-like petals."
"This is a very pretty cactus variety."
"Not very vigorous this year, but the flower is gorgeous."
"The colors in the catalogue don't do this justice. The pink/peach colors are rich and beautiful. Some blooms more pastel and some rich pinky peach"
"These have done the best this year of all the dahlias. Some are quite pale but others are more vibrant colors."
"This is the first time using your business and also in growing dahlias. Both have been immensely satisfying. Here on the Oregon coast, one is never sure what will grow, but my dahlias are all opening up and completely healthy. I have always wanted to plant these flowers, and this two-toned one is breathtaking! I even have folks walking by and comment on how pretty they are. The whole shipment arrived perfectly- even with such a long trip. Very pleased."
"Much better result than Star Cactus."
