Avant Gardens Dahlia ‘Twyning’s After Eight’

Unlike standard bare-root tubers, these have already broken dormancy and are actively growing in a 24 oz pot. This gives them a head start on the season and helps ensure a higher success rate once planted in your garden.

The blossoms start as a soft pink and gradually mature to a near-white as the season progresses. By September and October, you can expect the blooms to display a much purer, cleaner white color.

Because this variety is best suited for zones 8-11, it is not winter-hardy in colder climates. You should dig up the tubers each autumn and store them in a cool, frost-free location like a greenhouse or basement until spring.

Since these dahlias grow to a mature height of 28-36 inches, they benefit from good airflow. We recommend spacing them about 18 to 24 inches apart to allow the dark foliage and blooms to develop fully.

No, 'Twyning’s After Eight' requires full sun to thrive. Planting them in a spot that receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily is essential for strong stems and consistent blooming.
