Eden Brothers Dahlia Tubers

Yes. Because these dinnerplate dahlias grow quite tall and produce very large, heavy blooms, they require staking or a trellis to prevent the stems from bending or breaking in the wind.

While they are typically grown in garden beds, you can grow them in large containers if you use a pot that is at least 12 to 15 inches deep and wide. Ensure the container has excellent drainage to prevent the tubers from rotting.

A No. 1 bulb size indicates a high-quality, mature tuber that has at least two to three 'eyes' or growth points. This size is standard for ensuring vigorous growth and a healthy, productive plant.

These dahlias are hardy in USDA zones 8 through 11. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to dig up the tubers in the fall and store them indoors over the winter to replant them the following spring.

You can cut blooms regularly throughout the summer and fall. Cutting the flowers actually encourages the plant to produce more stems and blooms, making it a highly productive choice for cut flower gardens.

They require full sun, which means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Planting them in a spot with adequate sun is essential for achieving the large, vibrant blooms they are known for.
