Dahlias are grown from a Tuberous Root. Flowers are good for cutting. Just one flower would be a lovely display! Compact bedding dahlias are ideal for container gardens and for flower beds. Use to add height and color to gardens. This plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds! Please note that pinching of the secondary buds will produce even larger flowers. Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not overwater.

Tubers are planted in the ground in late spring and generally flower from July to the first autumn frosts. Dahlias are perfect for a border garden and make lovely cut flowers. Growing vegetables? Put a row of dahlias on the border, where they will not shade your edibles.

Are Dahlias Perennials?

It depends. Dahlias are considered a tender perennial in colder regions of North America. They are reliably winter hardy in hardiness zones 8 and higher. In colder zones, dahlias can either be treated as annuals or the tubers can be dug up after the first frost and stored indoors for winter and replanted in spring. For gardeners in zones 6 and 7, it can vary and some have luck keeping tubers in the ground.
