Russells Mills Dahlia Tuber

A 'sport' refers to a natural genetic mutation where a plant produces blooms that differ from the parent variety. In this case, the Peaches N Cream dahlia has produced a unique, stable bronze-colored variation that offers a warmer, more earthy aesthetic than the original.

Dahlias are generally straightforward to grow, provided they receive full sun and well-draining soil. As long as you plant them after the danger of frost has passed and keep them watered throughout the summer, they are quite reliable.

This variety is noted for being a highly productive bloomer. While the exact number depends on your local climate and soil quality, you can expect a steady supply of flowers throughout the season, especially if you deadhead spent blooms to encourage new growth.

If you live in a climate where the ground freezes, you will need to dig up and store your dahlia tubers indoors over the winter. In warmer zones, they can often be left in the ground, provided the soil is well-drained and not prone to waterlogging.

The yellow accents are variable and can depend on environmental factors like temperature and soil nutrients. While the bronze coloration is the primary feature, you should expect some natural variation in the intensity of the yellow highlights from flower to flower.
