Hudson Valley Seed Co. Dahlia Seeds

Because these are open-pollinated seeds, the resulting plants will show a wide range of genetic diversity. By selecting and saving seeds from your favorite blooms each year, you can personally influence the colors and traits of the dahlias in your garden over time.
