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.

Wowza! Another huge 6’ tall dahlia that is great for cut arrangements. It is multi colored. Pinkish, purple, yellow, orange all in one flower. Blooms are large and get up to 5” across. Stunning flower.

No struggles here!

I live in a dry, windy climate. But a soaker hose and six foot tomato cage made this gorgeous specimen surprise me. I have always avoided the larger bloom varieties because I figured they wouldn't succeed here. This one proved me wrong and I am so impressed and blessed by my first large bloom!

Eye Catcher

When I had seen this bloom in another garden, it had me completely and could not stop looking at it!

I did not expect this

Way more beautiful in person. Huge 8inch blooms on sturdy stems. I placed this in the back and it still draws your eye. It's really outstanding in person. Many blooms and average bloom time.

OH MY - this is a winner!

It is by far the BEST Dahlia I've ever grown. It is very tall (6' easily), sturdy and BEAUTIFUL! The bloom colors change daily and it has great long stems for cutting and becoming the star of arrangements.
I have had good luck saving over the winter too.

Tall and striking

After a cool and wet spring, with all Dahlias coming on late in the PNW, this is one of my last Dahlias to bloom in mid October. Easily 6' + happy to have it before the first frost!

My Favorite this Year

This is an amazing plant, early to bloom and very prolific. Since it was the one I was most looking forward to I put it right by the walkway where it is towering above everything else and putting out an impressive bloom count. I simply can't believe I am getting this much growth from a single tuber the first year. The stems are strong for their length and I have not lost any blooms to rain. Great for cutting.

Not healthy

Not sure if it has a virus, or if it is mutated. Shoots came up fine, but the leaves got curly and malformed. I cut off the main affected shoot, and new ones have replaced it, but as of mid July, it is not blooming.

Tall and handsome

Substantial plant, top blossoms reached over 6 feet. When I had to cut all my tall dahlia stalks in advance of a big windstorm, most of them were Gitts Crazy. Big, elegant flowers on strong stems. For arrangements, I recommend cutting when there's still some closed dark center, as they are most striking then. The light-dark contrast softens somewhat in the final month; still beautiful.

My favorite new variety!

Absolutely my favorite new variety. Looks amazing cut with oranges, yellows, and purples. Customer favorite too! Produces well with multiple perfectly formed stems per cutting. Beautiful strong plant.

Nice surprise

This plant defies the laws of physics. The petals are yellow on the top and purple at the bottom. I don't know how it's possible but here is is! It's a must have, really. The plant is also very tall (close to 7 feet at my place) with very long stems but is not spreading; it has more of a vertical habit

Tall and Beautiful

This dahlia is a beast of a plant, it grows a very thick and tall stalk so put your stakes in early. Be prepared that its a slow bloomer, I've been watching a giant bud progress for well over a week and its finally but slowly starting to blossom. I can't wait to see it in its full glory! The price is great and I can't wait till end of season so I can split the tubers to add more of these to my garden for next year.

Showstopper!

Looks good but

I got no flowers in the first year I planted it - plenty of leaves but no flowers. It is now late Sept in my second year of growing it, have gotten only 1 flower, but it was nice. There are several buds on the plant, hope most of bloom before winter sets in.

A real favorite!

I love this dahlia! It is very vigorous, growing to five feet in early July and blooming relatively early in the season. The flowers are beautiful, each one unique and slightly different. They are very long lasting and work really well in the vase with so many different colors. The stems are long and strong, and best of all, it has been very prolific even in its first year, often with half a dozen blooms and many additional buds throughout July and August.

Tall and indescribably pretty!

This was sent to me as a free dahlia with my last order and I think it is among my top two or three dahlias! The plant is statuesque with dark green healthy leaves. The flowers are stunning, long lasting, and work very nicely in bouquets with reds, purples, golds, and blacks. The photos capture the flower well but don't show how nicely they are presented on the plant. Low maintenance and high reward make this a great choice.
