Growing dahlias from seed ensures youre going to get a random mix of whatever the bees touched in the garden. Each seed produces a unique bloom in terms of size, height, shape, and color. While predominantly yielding collarette or single-type dahlias, the true magic lies in the unpredictability. In 2023, we grew over 500 plants, over 100 varieties, across 5 different gardens. We are excited to see what new amazing unique variety you get! Whether started indoors or planted directly after the last frost, the germination period is 3-21 days. These seed-grown dahlias will produce tubers.
