How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
(28-32" tall x 12-24” wide) Enjoy months of color with ‘Tyler James’ Dinner Plate Dahlia. They are remarkable easy to grow and respond to harvest by yielding even more blooms. And cut flowers have a long vase life. For best blooming, plant in full sun. Plants benefit from light afternoon shade in hot climates. Plant one bulb per square foot, setting tubers one to two inches deep in any well-drained soil. For fuller plants and bigger blooms, pinch back young plants, removing growth beyond the third set of leaves. Dahlia are not winter hardy beyond zone 8. In colder regions, dig tubers in fall before the first frost. After drying tubers for several days, remove excess soil and store in a box filled with lightly moistened sand or peat moss. Store in a cool, dry location until replanting in spring.
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.
