American Dawn dahlia tuber.
1 tuber.
The most sensational sight in a summer garden! Its great blossoms with masses of brilliantly colored petals will be the pride of your landscape. Coral-apricot petals are lightly streaked on the back with complementary plum tones. Matching plum-purple centres add striking finishing touches to the massive 6" blooms. Easy to grow, for borders that butterflies love! The pictures do not capture the full beauty of this variety.
- 5-6" flowers
- 3-4' plant
- Strong stems
Planting: Your tubers can go directly into the ground in the spring when the ground has warmed and there is little chance of frost. One good guideline is to plant in the same time frame as you would a tomato. If you want blooms as early as possible, you can start the tubers indoors in good light about a month before planting time. You will then have a small plant ready at planting time. Dahlias can be planted as late as mid-June in most parts of the country.
