Beautiful big blooms
Verified Buyer
Ok two so far r just alike big yellow. One was more star shaped w/red, purple & white. It was the most colorful. One never showed at all & one was probably a week or two from blooming & was knocked over & broke off☹️ Everyone enjoyed them.
Dont you like surprises!?
Verified Buyer
Happy bunch. I have received a couple of surprise Dahlias and would like to know the names. I wish I could have the red and the magenta... but I got the orange GIAENT and burgundy Spider instead.
All yellow
The mix ended up being all yellows. The blooms are huge and gorgeous but I really wanted a variety of colors.
All Yellows
I planted all the tubers. I checked the reviews for the flowers I was getting. They all grew very well and the flowers were terrific with lots of flowers. However, all of them were yellow. I know you don't keep track of which bulb is which but seems like you could try a different method. I won't be buying any more mixed flower selections.
Fair performance
Verified Buyer
High sprout rate, but they played through deer and rabbit attacks to produce some blooms. I thought they were all supposed to be dinner plate size, but there were some small ones mixed in. My soul here is TN clay, the decent grade is because not much else worked.
Huge
Verified Buyer
Weather was not helpful here. The first one, yellow, was truly dinner plate spectacular. Others are sadly just now getting blooms going and it is sooo cold they may not be happy.
Great Addition
Verified Buyer
These are so beautiful! Large blooms that are captivating. I love how they uplifted the landscaping in our yard.
Better luck next year
Verified Buyer
I potted up the dahlias immediately they arrived… sprouted after about 3 weeks indoors. I transplanted outdoors after 8weeks. I got good growth from 3 bulbs, not a single dahlia flowered this year. Even more disappointing, the bulbs weren't bigger than the originals. I'm saving them anyway. This was a disappointing turnout

how many different color and kind of flower come in 1 bag or if need to mix it up the color and kinds . can I ask for it
- Asked by sara
- Verified Reply - AngelaThe Giant Dinnerplate Dahlia Mix includes 5 tubers. We can't customize the mix. It's randomly selected from the dinnerplate varieties. We offer many dahlias individually if you prefer to hand select the colors.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Did you plant these into the ground or into potting plants? Thank you.
- Asked by Frances
- Product Owner - pradnyatdI planted the dahlias in the ground after all danger of frost is gone. Dig a hole, and put a stake near each one before filling the hole up so as not to hurt the tuber. You don't need to water unless the ground is too dry. Water only after you see green growth. As the dahlias grow, use soft ties to hold the dahlia stem and the stake together. Pinch the stems when about 12 - 16 inch tall to encourage branching and more flowers. Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Hello, I understand that you do not guarantee which flowers we will receive if a variety pack is ordered but will you guarantee they will not all be the same color/flower. I read one of the reviews that someone received all yellows so I am hesitant to purchase. Thank you
- Asked by Laura
- Verified Reply - AngelaThe Giant Dinnerplate Dahlia Mix is randomly packed. While we expect it to be a nice mix of colors, there is some possibility you could receive all of the same color.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
I really am not concerned about how tall the plants are. How big are these "dinner plate" blossoms? My thought is that most buyers would like the largest blossoms of colors of their choosing possible. ie: dinner plate I've ordered before from another major bulb company only to discover that their "dinner plate" blossoms were 3-4", not 8-10" as dinner plate implies, unless they are thinking of butter plates.A little more transparency as to actual size by color would be appreciated. Thanks.
- Asked by Dahlia Man
- Verified Reply - AngelaThe Giant Dinnerplate Dahlia is a random mix of varieties labeled as 'Dinnerplate'. It is true that some are larger than others. We offer individual varieties for those who want to select specific colors etc.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can Dinner plate Dahlias be grown in large pots? I don't have anymore space in the sunny spot in my yard, and it would be easier to lift a pot and transfer indoors before winter, than to dig up roots from the ground.
- Asked by Rosy
- Verified Reply - AngelaYou can certainly grow dahlias in large pots. Those pots can be moved into the garage or basement for winter without removing the tubers.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Are the perennial
- Asked by Big mama
- Product Owner - pradnyatdIt is considered annual in Zones below zone 8, so you lift the tubers after the leaves die back. I am in zone 8, but have clay soil, so leaving them in the ground is risky here as well.Was this answer helpful to you
