Description
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.

Wonderful large soft yellow dahlia
"I did plant these rather late for our zone 4 area but they are adding a great pop of color this September!"
Big, Bold, and Easy to Grow!
"This is an easy-to-grow dahlia, providing big blooms, perfect for bouquets or to grow in a garden setting. I didn't water them once during the growing season (we had a lot of rain here in the Northeast) and the only care I gave them was to string them up (they can get top-heavy with the large size of the flowers)!"
What a Showstopper
"Kelvin Floodlight was the highlight of my first dahlia season. It was the first dinnerplate dahlia to bloom and gigantic - seriously as big as my head. The color was such a bright yellow and I had a lot of blooms despite starting in June and being in zone 4. With it being a dinnerplate I strongly suggest staking. Highly reccomend."
So glad I finally tried this showstopper. A new favorite!
"I've grown Dahlias for years and always tend to go for the purples and bi-colors. I planted the Kelvin Floodlight on a whim this year, and now I totally get the hype. This is a showstopper! The blooms are gigantic, and hold up for a long time in the garden or as a cut flower. Never thought I'd be so in love with a simple yellow dinner plate dahlia, but I've been completely won over and am thankful I finally gave this. These produced soooo many blooms, my only regret is not covering them when we had an early hard frost in my zone 4 yard. There were still a ton of buds on the plant that didn't get to develop when they were zapped by frost. I didn't stake these, but they would have benefited from it. I plant mine in a raised bed and cram in more than recommended, so they kind of hold each other up for the most part. Stunning blooms for months, really impressed with this one, I see why it's been a fan favorite, it's one of mine now too. Highly recommend!"
Great for beginning gardeners; stunning results!
"Easy to plant. Easy to maintain. The hardest part was waiting for blooms! But once they started I was astonished at how big the plants grew. No problems with pests (bugs) even though they were next to sunflowers and pumpkins that we battling Squash Vine Borers. Advice: DEFINITELY ADD STAKES while planting - with these big flowers you will need them."
Whoa!
"Wow wow wow. These things are insane! I made every mistake possible. Overwatered, forgot to stake, and didn't treat with any pest control at all. So of course they flopped over and got completely infested with thrips BUT despite my total negligence they bloomed nonstop from July well into October and the blooms were HUGE. 8-12 inch on average."
Beautiful and easy to grow.
"These flowers are big, beautiful and a great bright yellow color. The blooms are so big that I like to use just one or two in a vase with some smaller "fillers". I have one planted in a smaller pot, one in the ground and one in a very large pot. The smaller pot looks like the blooms will be a little smaller by looking at the size of the buds. The cons are it is very tall and heavy and will need strong stakes to hold it up. I would recommend this dahlia to anyone."
These Dahlia Lived up to their Name!
"This dahlia lived up to its name, dinner plate! The blooms were long stemmed, large and beautiful! The blooms came in clusters that beautified the space in which they grew, and attracted many admirers who complemented their sizes and brilliant yellow color! I reluctantly cut a few blooms to beautify my dining room, and they perfectly graced the space in which they were placed! I am thrilled that I bought them for my garden!"
So Hot Here in Mn All Summer
"It's been so hot in Mn all summer and most dahlias refused to bloom and grow, but Kelvin Floodlight was one of the first dahliaa to bloom in spite of the extreme heat, day and night."
Nice addition to my garden
"First to blossom. largest of the bunch, but few blossoms. Still a great addition to my garden."
