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.

"I love this dahlia - Penhill Watermelon. I'm in Los Angeles zone 10b and grow my dahlias in 10" plastic pots sunk into my drought-tolerate garden. This way the dahlia pot stays cool but gets more water than the drought-tolerant plants around it. This plant is tall, prolific and very healthy. The flowers are gorgeous, fluffy pink with yellow!"
"Planted many dahlias this year, and this one stands prominently next to all the others. The colors are bright and strong, and all the blooms are true to their dinnerplate size! This is one of my favorite dahlias, would absolutely recommend this to anyone who loves having them in their garden or who plants them to create beautiful bouquets!"
"Update from last review; my other plant is blooming beautifully! I love them and hope over the years it continues to grow bigger. Cut some blooms to bring inside so I could enjoy all day."
"Started tuber in a pot then transferred to bed after about a foot tall. It was doing well and blooms were being established but then it died. Not sure why because everything else in the bed is thriving. Very sad and disappointing because these were expensive and I was really looking forward to the beautiful blooms."
"Have these in the back of the border"
"All three of my Penhill Watermelon tubers grew and produced blooms this year! In CA we've had a super hot year, so they plants didn't look great, but they have still been blooming these, huge, BEAUTIFUL blooms! I can't wait to grow them again next year. A favorite for sure."
"My current favorite. I grow a lot of different dahlias, so to be my current favorite, you really have to reach my soul. Watermelon changes color over time, so don't expect your flower to be static. It's a very expressive variety, tender, feminine. Tubers arrived in good condition."
