The Lily Garden Dahlia Lilac Time

This variety reaches a mature height of approximately 48 inches. Because of this height, it is a good idea to plant them in a spot where they won't shade out smaller flowers.

While 'Lilac Time' is bred to have notably sturdy stems that support its heavy 6-8 inch blooms, dahlias of this height can still benefit from staking in areas prone to high winds or heavy rain to ensure they stay upright.

For the best results and the most vibrant color, plant these in a location that receives full sun. This ensures the plant has the energy required to produce its large, heavy blooms from late summer through autumn.

Yes, these are undivided clump tubers harvested at a minimum weight of 4oz, which is the ideal size for robust growth. You should plant them once the danger of spring frost has passed and the soil has warmed.

Dahlias are tender perennials. In warmer climates (USDA zones 8 and above), they can often be left in the ground, but in colder regions, you will need to dig up and store the tubers indoors over the winter to protect them from freezing.
