$1.01The Story
A mix of stunning, decorative dahlias gorgeous in the garden or a vase. To increase the overall number of flowers and encourage long, strong stems, you’ll want to pinch them. Once plants are 20 to 30cm tall, snip off the top 7 to 10 cm, just above a set of leaves.
When you grow dahlias from seed, you generally cannot expect blooms to be true to type. Dahlia seed mixes are best thought of as genetic lotteries: great for curiosity, bedding displays, or breeding—but not for reproducing a known variety.
Dahlias are highly genetically variable. They are usually cross-pollinated hybrids, so the seeds carry a mixed set of traits from both parent plants. That means:
- Flower form, colour, shape, size, and plant height can all vary widely
- Each seedling is essentially a new, unique dahlia
If you want an exact copy of a dahlia you like, you need to grow it from tubers or cuttings, not seed.
