Bright Cactus Dahlia Mix
Bright Cactus Dahlia Mix
Large, starburst-type flowers add color and interest to the sunny garden. Bright Cactus Dahlia Mix is a random mix of colors and may include white, yellow, red, pink, purple, bicolor or other hues. The flowers have long, narrow petals. Growing 24-36" tall, this dahlia mix is excellent for garden or border plantings. The showy flowers are long-lasting and ideal as cut flowers, too. Like other dahlias, the Bright Cactus Dahlia Mix blooms from midsummer to the first frost in the fall. Deer tend to avoid.

Unfortunately they did not bloom . They grew one foot stem and disappeared. Hopefully the bulbs are still healthy underneath.
Totally different blooms !

Only half of them came up. Pretty disappointing for flowers that are pretty tricky to actually mess up.

Be Careful!
Verified Buyer
If the 5 I ordered, only 3 produced blooms. One yellow and two white. These tubers come in a flimsy plastic bag and most of them are broken away but contain eyes. Two didn't. Disastrous. White and yellow aren't a bright cactus dahlia mix. Will not be purchasing again.
No growth
Very disappointing. I was excited to add these to my dahlia patch, but they never grew while my other bulbs have been putting on a show. I didn't see eyes on the tubers but I busted that they will grow. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
Great flowers to sell
Verified Buyer
My dahlias did fabulous. However, I ended up with about 80% of one variety. I bought 5 mixed packs and got mostly the two tone pink and yellow ones. I got two yellow, one red, one purple and three variegated pink ones. Wish I had gotten a better mixed variety, but they did great and made me lots of money :). This year not buying any mixed bags, but can't wait to order lots more.
Great in my garden!
Verified Buyer
I got three colors of Mix Dahlia with very big flowers. They are so gorgeous that my neighbor and coworkers gave a lot of compliments!

Verified Buyer
