White Flower Farm Dahlia Cornel

Yes, they are an excellent choice. The 'Cornel' variety features strong, sturdy stems that hold the heavy, ball-shaped blooms upright, making them perfect for fresh floral arrangements.

It depends on your climate. If you live in zones 8-10, they can overwinter in the ground. In colder regions, you will need to lift the tubers in the fall and store them indoors to protect them from freezing temperatures.

These plants thrive in full sun, which encourages the most prolific flowering. While they can tolerate partial shade, you may see fewer blooms if they don't receive at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight.

Plant the tubers 4 to 6 inches deep in well-drained soil. Ensure the soil is loose and fertile to support their mature height of 36 to 48 inches.

You can expect blooms from July through October. Because they are reliable producers, they will provide consistent color throughout the midsummer and fall months.
