National Plant Network Dahlia Collarette Mixed Bulbs (10-Pack)

National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening. This charming mix of collarette dahlias features unique flower forms with an outer ring of flat petals surrounding a shorter inner collar of contrasting colors. These versatile plants thrive in sunny locations and provide a steady supply of nectar for bees and butterflies making them a wonderful addition to any pollinator or cutting garden. Dahlia tubers arrive in a dormant state and appear as starchy root clumps that are ready to burst into life once the spring soil remains consistently warm. These tubers are easy to plant, just soak them in lukewarm water for a few hours before placing them about four to six inches deep with the growing eye facing upward in well prepared soil that receives plenty of sunlight. After planting, new shoots typically emerge within a few weeks as the weather warms, eventually leading to lush green foliage and incredible flowers that last until the first frost. These tubers offer an economical way to enjoy prolific blooms year after year and can be successfully overwintered in colder zones by digging them up and storing them in a cool, dark, frost free location once the foliage has died back.
