The box was well packaged and arrived with four dahlia root bulbs.
The instructions were easy. Dig a shallow hole, put roots in, cover with soil and water! We dug 4 holes, one for each set of tubers.
(We also added a little fertilizer as well.)

We needed something that would grow in the hot humidity of Florida, tolerant of sandy soil, and would grow to a decent size with minimal effort. The dahlias Breck's helped us choose will tolerate these soil types: Acidic Soil, Clay Soil, Loamy Soil, Sandy Soil.
We also wanted something that would stand out. The Nenekazi Dinnerplate Dahlia has slender, spiky petals when in full bloom, with an abundance of lovely florets. They start as creamy yellow at the heart, and turn to baby pink at the spiky, eye-catching tips!
How to Plant Them
Space each plant 2 to 3 feet apart and dig a wide whole. Loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole and place the roots, then cover with potting loose potting soil. The roots should be about 2 inches below the ground surface. Water generously right after planting, and then ensure they receive a minimum of 1 inch of water each week thereafter.
