These fun and gorgeous blooms are great in floral arrangements and breathtaking in the garden. Hardy in zone 8-11, but don’t let that deter, you if you live in cooler zones. Dahlias grow very fast and can be dug and stored over the winter or used as an annual. #1 grade tuber. Dahlia Tubers might not look that pretty but their blooms are spectacular! If tubers are a little shriveled, don't worry, just soak for 2-4 hours and plant in the full sun and rich well-drained soil. Perfect for sandy, loamy or acidic soils. Can be planted in containers, but will require staking. For larger varieties, (3' ), we recommend staking when you plant as stems are rather brittle. Hardy to zones 8-11 but with heavy mulching some varieties can overwinter in the ground up to zone 6. You can dig each tuber after frost has blacken foliage and store until Spring.
