Description

Like a summer sunset, the peachy-mango petals of Fairway Spur Dahlia lend romantic elegance to the summer garden. Blooming with dinner plate-sized 8-10" flowers from mid-to-late summer until frost, Fairway Spur provides plentiful flowers for home and garden. Plant the tubers when the soil has warmed, 4-6" deep in compost enriched garden soil in a sunny spot (afternoon shade in the South). Once the plant sprouts, water deeply and keep the soil moist as the dahlia grows. For long stemmed flowers, cut the plant back once when it reaches 12" tall. Stakes are helpful with these tall plants, especially in windy areas, so plant your stakes as you plant the dahlias to avoid damaging the plant. Plant with other late summer bloomers such as helianthus, veronica or tall salvia for a dramatic effect. Bees love them and you will too! (4' tall x 18" 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.

Very impressed

"Very pleased with these tubers. First of all, I ordered one pack of three tubers. I received at least 8 tubers! I am a first time Dahlia grower, and wasn't sure how well they would do because of my ignorance. Everyone except 2 sprouted. The color of these does very slightly. For example, I have two in the same flower bed that south facing and gets full sun. One is more of a coral pink with mauve in the middle, and the other is more of a salmon."
