How to Grow

Dahlias are grown from tubers (similar to a bulb, but thin-skinned like a potato). Plant tubers in the springtime, about the same time as you would your vegetable gardens or when the ground is warm enough to work up and play in daily. Plant them in a full sun location (giving them 6-8 hours of direct sunlight) and enjoy blooms all summer long. They will bloom and provide you with color and abundant flowers for cutting and enjoying throughout the summer.
The more you cut a dahlia plant, the more it will bloom. Most cut dahlias will last up to 5 days once cut and treated.

Mine grew beautifully the first year., so I ordered it again this year.

Mine didn’t appear above ground so I dug it up and it had gone to a very mushy state . All the others I ordered from Swan Island are doing very well.

Stunning

This is 1 of 2 stunning dahlias I added to my garden from Swan Island last year. The other is Clearview Jonas. The plant was always covered in blooms and just a stunner. It was not bothered by beetles and always looked amazing. Highly recommended.

Honeymoon is not over!

Honeymoon with a hand full of others became a permanent bloom for me to grow. Prolific, Radiant, as well a compliment to other blooms like Bluetiful.

Spectacular Dahlia in Every Way Possible.

The color of Honeymoon is a beautiful soft peach floor with hints of pink in center half. The blooms are as described at 8 " if not slightly larger. The plant is 3 - 3 1/2 feet tall. A lovely plant and covered in these spectacular blooms on strong stems.

Great Choice

Lovely, big, early blooms. I got many healthy tubers from my first plant and now have several in my garden.

Color You Have to See

I would not have selected this, but received it as a free gift. It is growing so well, and the soft blend of yellow and peachy colors are to die for. Excellent BIG blooms with great vase life. I pinched mine a bit too low, but cant wait to let it a bit bigger next year.

Large beautiful blooms, prolific bloomer

This was closer to 4 feet tall for me and one of my best, early bloomers. So very many large, cheerful blooms- a definite favorite.

Stunningly large blooms

This dahlia took me by surprise because I couldn't remember all the details of the varieties that I ordered last year, the blooms were HUGE and lasted very well once I cut them and made bouquets. Some of my other varieties only last 1-3 days once cut, but this one lasted at least 5 days without any additional measures to extend it, I just cut the long stem and dropped in a vase to enjoy a burst of sunny colors indoors.

Big, beautiful, long lasting blooms

Big, beautiful, long lasting blooms. Mine varied in color from a melon orange color like shown in the pictures to a soft coral. Very pretty.
