Description

The Emory Paul Dahlia keeps summer sizzling with pillowy, hot-pink flowers that dwarf others. Plant these perennials in full sun in a sheltered location and provide plenty of water for the biggest possible blooms. Emory Paul Dahlia has sturdy stems but be prepared to stake them if necessary. Early pinching (at about 18") will promote bushier plants and more flowers. For the largest flowers, monitor flower buds, as too many will likely make smaller blooms. A pollinator favorite–butterflies and hummingbirds love it. Plant with sunflowers for extra fun. 36-48" tall x 24" wide.

Planting & Care

Summer Blooming Bulbs, including popular varieties such as gladiolus and dahlias, are planted in the spring and bloom in the summer. Most of these bulbs are tropical and require warm weather to be planted. There must not be any danger of frost and your ground temperature must have reached 55 degrees Fahrenheit before planting. Many of our summer blooming bulbs can be planted as perennials in zones 9-10 (zone 8 if mulched), but should be treated as annuals in cooler climates. You can lift them and store them in the fall, or bring patio pots inside before frost. Read our article about How To Grow Dahlias.

Growing Dahlias: Plant Dahlia tubers after spring frosts in good garden soil with full sun. Dahlias must be protected from high winds, so we suggest you position them against a wall or be ready to stake them. Keep the plants well-watered and free of bugs, applying flower fertilizer as they grow. Your dahlias will be in full bloom by July or August, with the enormous flowers continuing to bloom until frost. As frost threatens, pull up the roots and trim off the stems. You can store the tubers in a cool dry place until the following spring.

RECEIVED WRONG SPECIES TUBER

"Understand the one year guarantee from delivery, but ordered these tubers and they didn't bloom until a several years later only to find out it was not the tuber species I had ordered. Disappointed high country gardens did not stand behind this mix up as I hold high country gardens to a higher standard than other websites. Something to consider when purchasing tubers from the website"
