Dinnerplate Dahlia Collection 4 Tubers

Product Details

Our Dinnerplate Dahlia Collection includes the four Decorative Form varieties below; all produce Dinnerplate size blooms. In his classic volume, The Essential Earthman, Henry Mitchell observes of Dahlias, “while none have yet been bred that are quite as large as TV sets or as bright as atom bombs, they will bloom magnificently and conspicuously enough through September and October, when few other things do.” Tubers.

• ‘Strawberry Ice’—Strawberry pink and yellow blossoms from this 8” Dinnerplate, Informal Decorative form with slight curling at the edges of the petals.
• ‘Kelvin Floodlight’—The monster 10–12″ flowers of this winner in gardens and shows for over 40 years are a clear, penetrating shade of pale yellow.
• ‘Ace Summer Sunset’—Masses of vibrant orange petals lightly touched in yellow. Each flower measures 6–9″ across.
• ‘Fleurel’—The elegant, 8″ white flowers of ‘Fleurel’ have a touch of cream in their centers.

Dahlias are native to Mexico and South America, and hold their display in reserve for mid- to late summer and early fall. The genus offers incredible diversity of color and form and we offer dozens of varieties every year. Dahlias are perennial but not cold hardy – tubers can overwinter in the ground in Zone 8 or warmer; in colder climates tubers can be dug after frost and easily stored indoors over winter. Please note – Dahlias should be planted outside once the danger of frost has passed and soil temperature has reached approximately 60°. We ship tubers beginning in late March and they can be stored until planting time if necessary. For more information on growing Dahlias, click on the Growing Guide tab on this page.
