Giant Ball Dahlia Mix
Giant Ball Dahlia Mix
Stunning mix features "true" ball dahlias that were developed by hybridizer, H.A. Van Eeuwijk. Giant Ball Dahlia Mix is a random mix of colors and may include white, yellow, pink, purple, red or other hues. The cultivars produce very large flowers up to 5½" in diameter and are very uniform in height, flower shape and, as a special feature, have strong, thick stems. They make superior cut flowers, easily lasting 5 days when freshly cut. Like other dahlias, the Giant Ball Dahlia Mix blooms from midsummer to the first frost in the fall. Deer tend to avoid.

Merchant Response
Thank you for taking the time to review the Giant Ball Dahlia Mix. We are truly sorry to hear that this random selection of a mixture of colors did not meet your expectations. Fortunately, we have a fantastic No-Risk Guarantee. One of our Customer Care agents will be reaching out to you soon with a positive resolution.
Great results!
Verified Buyer
All the tubers came up and grew very high (the white one was at least 6' tall). I guess fertilizing them every month had something to do with that! Very happy with this purchase.
Wonderful bouquets for home & church and to give away!
Verified Buyer
This Ball Mix grew very well for me in a raised bed. They were very popular with my fellow community gardeners. I had red gold and white in my collection. My Golden ball dahlia was not a giant,(only 2 1/2 to 3 inches) but an early & prolific bloomer that brightened many late summer and fall bouquets all the way from August through October in western Oregon- even though a cold spring kept them from being planted until early JUNE! I also got two small 'extra' plants from tubers which broke off the clump but had eyes- late to bloom but should do great next season!
Read the reviews. Little yellow flowers.
Verified Buyer
It wasn't until AFTER they bloomed that I went back in and read the reviews. I should have heeded the advice. Steer clear of this mix. 4 of the 5 plants bloomed as miniature yellow flowers with poor form. They were dahlias and prolific, but definitely not what was advertised. The final plant bloomed what looks like it might be cornel, so it was a ball… but certainly not a giant. I contacted the company and got credit for a replacement, which I really appreciate. They were great, but it sounds like the little yellow problem is an issue that should be addressed with their QC department.
Didn't get much of mix
Verified Buyer
I think all the ones I got were red and maybe one white one but gorgeous
Beautiful blooms
Verified Buyer
I enjoyed beautiful blooms until this week when we had a frost! I shared many bouquets with my friends from the plentiful blooms!
Great addition to my cutting garden
Verified Buyer
They were gorgeous!! They still are ! Love the colors, texture and continual bloom. Everyone I give a bouquet to is amazed.

- Q
The description says single flower form. Does that mean the plant only produces one flower? I have never seen any dahlias that do not produce multiple flowers. Please advise so I can consider an order.
- Asked by Cathy
- Product Owner - jbondellNo; it simply means that all the roots are for the same type (ball) dahlia. Don't worry, you'll have multiple flowers.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Hello I ordered these and I was wondering if it's ok to mulch over these right after I plant them or just put mulch around to help with moisture retention and keep weeds down?
- Asked by Michael
- Product Owner - jbondellI would wait until they break through the soil before you mulch. Once they're up mulch should be fine.Was this answer helpful to you
