National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening. This stunning mix of ball dahlias features perfectly symmetrical globe shaped blooms in a vibrant array of colors that add a cheerful and orderly look to your summer garden. These versatile plants thrive in sunny locations and produce long lasting flowers with sturdy stems that are ideal for creating professional quality floral arrangements. Dahlia tubers arrive in a dormant state and appear as starchy root clumps that are ready to burst into life once the spring soil remains consistently warm. These tubers are easy to plant, just soak them in lukewarm water for a few hours before placing them about four to six inches deep with the growing eye facing upward in well prepared soil that receives plenty of sunlight. After planting, new growth typically begins within a few weeks as temperatures warm, followed by dense foliage and perfectly rounded flowers. These tubers offer an economical way to enjoy prolific blooms year after year and can be successfully overwintered in colder zones by digging them up and storing them in a cool, dark, frost free location once the foliage has died back.
