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.

Beautiful, Healthy Plants

"The tubers arrived on schedule, they appeared very healthy and were exactly as described in the online catalog. When planted, they sprouted quickly and look great in my garden. I'd definitely order again."

— Barb D. (5/5)

Dahlias a challenge in gopher territitor

"I've tried these dahlias several times from several different vendors. They simply don't come back in my garden. They may grow one year then disappear; sometime they never show up. I've put them in gopher baskets, but something gets them anyway. Slugs attack the new foliage before it has a chance to get a start. I love these plants -- had them in a different garden years ago -- but may have to bow to the superior intelligence of our local pests."

— Deb (3/5)
