Jackson & Perkins Dahlia Decorative Mix

These Dahlias reach a mature height of 48 inches. Because they grow quite tall and produce large, heavy blooms, we recommend staking them early in the season to keep the stems upright and prevent them from toppling over during heavy rain or wind.

Yes, they are well-suited for containers. Ensure your pot is large enough to accommodate their 36-inch spread and has excellent drainage, as Dahlias are prone to rot if left in standing water.

Regular cutting is actually beneficial for this variety. By harvesting blooms for arrangements, you encourage the plant to direct its energy into producing new buds, which helps maintain continuous flowering from midsummer until the first frost.

These Dahlias are hardy in zones 9-11. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to dig up the tubers in the fall after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over the winter before replanting in the spring.

For the best performance and largest blooms, plant them in a location that receives full sun. They need at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily to thrive and produce their signature 9-inch flowers.
