dahlia - cactus mix

Dahlia Cactus Mix produces large, spiky-petaled flowers in a vibrant range of colors. These striking blooms create a dramatic display in flower beds, borders, and containers, while also making spectacular cut flowers. With their long, sturdy stems and extended blooming season, they provide continuous color from mid-summer until the first frost. Dahlias thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, rewarding gardeners with an abundance of eye-catching blossoms. Though they grow as perennials in warmer climates, tubers can be lifted and stored for replanting in colder regions. Packet contains 20-25 seeds.
