Eden Brothers Dahlia Tubers

Waterlily dahlias are characterized by their symmetrical, flat-topped blooms with broad, slightly curved petals that resemble a water lily. This specific form gives the Kilburn Glow a refined, structured appearance that stands out from more ruffled or pompon-style varieties.

These tubers are hardy in zones 8 through 11. If you live in a colder region, you can still grow them as annuals or lift the tubers from the soil in late autumn and store them in a cool, dry place over the winter to replant the following spring.

For optimal airflow and growth, space your tubers 12 to 18 inches apart. This spacing prevents overcrowding, which helps the plants maintain their sturdy, upright habit and reduces the risk of fungal issues.

Yes, their strong, sturdy stems make them an excellent choice for cut-flower arrangements. To maximize vase life, cut the stems in the early morning when the plant is fully hydrated and place them immediately into clean water.

To encourage continuous blooming from midsummer through autumn, deadhead the spent flowers regularly. This prevents the plant from putting energy into seed production and redirects it toward creating new, vibrant blooms.

Kilburn Glow dahlias thrive in full sun and require rich, moist, well-draining soil. Ensure the planting site receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily to support their vigorous growth and color development.
