Bulbs sprouted early, stems were strong (though best staked), the many flowers were bright and clear and brought a smile to everyone!

Amazing

These are by far the largest dahlias I have ever had the privilege of growing. They hold true to the "dinnerplate" size description. They are pale yellow and grow 6-10" across. They were a little later to bloom than some of my other varieties but have made up for it with the amount of blooms that they are producing now.

A Floodlight For Sure

It is a true dinnerplate dahlia. Huge bright yellow. Doesn't grow quite as tall as some dahlias classed as dinnerplates, which i think is a plus. Blooms sooner. I had some other varieties that barely bloomed before the frost got them. I also grow Strawberry Ice. Another spectacular dahlia. Kevin Floodlight and Strawberry Ice are rivals in my dahlia garden.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

The flowers bloomed were white instead of yellow and were not dinner plate size. I was really disappointed.

They were big and beautiful. However, because they were so big, they needed to be staked and some flowers flopped due to their weight. I cut the flowers and arranged them in a vase.
