With their mix of colors and pointed petals, these flowers look like fireworks! This variety often grows very tall, reaching 36 - 52 inches. The Cactus Dahlia take their name from their unusual elongated and pointed, narrow petals. These flowers quickly becomes a big and bold statement for the late summer garden, and they make an excellent long-stemmed cut flower!



Dahlias are a tender perennial (in most areas annuals) that are vigorous and fast growing. They are an outstanding addition to the flower border or container garden. Attracting hummingbirds and butterflies, they are an old-fashioned favorite. Flowers bloom first year and add a lovely spot of color in the garden. They thrive when the temperatures climb, and they will be profuse bloomers until the first frost. Sow Dahlia seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before the last frost. Lightly cover the flower seeds with soil or peat moss only the thickness of the seed itself. Transplant seedlings outdoors after danger of frost has passed.
