DAHLIA: The word dahlia means "plant with tube- like stems”. With a blast of different colors, shapes and sizes, Dahlias bring life and beauty back to your landscape in late summer and into the fall months. The diversity of Dahlias allow you to use them in many different aspects of your landscape design, from low growing border plants to stately background plantings which may reach six feet in height. Dahlias make excellent cut flowers, which typically last about a week in the house. Truly as large as dinner plates, these specially selected prize-winning size Dahlias are the most spectacular offered. A single stem will make a statement, and you'll find yourself cutting and sharing these beauties with friends. Hardy in zones 8-10, elsewhere dig and store the roots in a frost-free place. They start blooming in the summer and don't stop until the hard frosts of fall. We send only top-sized roots. The Big Wow is a Huge wine red Dinnerplate Dahlia growing 36-48" tall.
