Very disappointed
Got the package of 5 bulbs. Not a single one of them came up. It wasn't a great year for dahlias here, but the other varieties I got from here did much better than these.
Disappointed
Verified Buyer
Very disappointed in these dahlias. Not a single one of 5 I planted even came up.
Same location, soil, pruning as all my Dahliass
Verified Buyer
Never grew more than 3 feet tall . Only a few small flowers
Not Dinnerplates
Verified Buyer
These were regular dahlias. they were pretty but I was so disappointed. I paid for dinnerplates. The issue is you cannot tell they are not dinnerplates until they bloom. I do not recommend this product.

Beautiful large blooms healthy sturdy stems
Another great purchase
Big Wow!
Verified Buyer
generous size/number tuber, I divided, half in my garden, half in sister in law's.. grew well, many, many blooms, until late October (just west of Chicago).. this year rabbits stole/ate many tubers, the Big Wow somehow escaped this fate, I expect these to repeat the great performnce next year.
Not a good fit for any garden
Verified Buyer
These were not good to say the least. Only 2 of 4 came up and only one survived to bloom tiny blooms, no dinner plate sizes. The last order, none came up! Not a happy gardener

huge flowers
The flowers are large and pretty, but maroon in color. I really wanted red so I marked it down for being the wrong color.
Broken tubers this time. But stunning in the past.
Verified Buyer
My tubers arrived in horrible shape, mostly broken necks. Only 1 out of 5 was viable and then it didn't produce a healthy plant. Sad, because I have grown this variety before and it was stunning. The company kindly refunded me for this item. I will try to grow it again in the future.
Not as good as the last several years
Verified Buyer
Did not produce that fiery, show stopping red that I've had from them in the past. There were a lot of blooms, but they were an ordinary, darker red, nothing special.
