Great Addition in my garden
Bought in 2021. 100% germination. Looks nice, but size is small.
Dahlia's did not perform!
Verified Buyer
I planted several dalias in organic top soil. Great drainage. They never became dinner late size, and also never had a bloom for more than a day.
Pretty but not giant dinner plate
The flowers are just like picture shown. It's prolific and relatively early bloomer. Very pretty. However, the flowers are more like 3-4 inches in diameter decorative kind, and the overall plant has 4-5 feet height.
Great cut flower.
Verified Buyer
Lovely, but it wasn't a giant dinner plate.
