Dahlia Fleurel

LARGE OR DINNER PLATE TYPE - This is not an official group of dahlias but all have large, 6”-12” flowered types; usually needs support or staking.

Native to Mexico and Central America, dahlias provide us with more pleasure than almost any other summer bulb.  They produce an abundance of wonderful flowers perfect for 'gift giving flower arrangements' throughout early summer and again in late summer until frost. If they are picked for arrangements, these 'cut and come again' plants require almost no care, they appear to be pest resistant and they come in a myriad of colors. They are happiest in full sun but will tolerate light shade. Top-sized tuber clusters; approx. 1 per sq. ft.; whz 8-10; have overwintered in our whz 7 gardens with extra winter mulch and excellent drainage among our daffodils and tulips; most flowers are 2"-3" across and plants are 1'-2' tall unless otherwise stated; top-sized clustered tubers.
