Orange Glory Patio Dinnerplate Dahlia

Soo I was so excited to get this Dahlia because of the color and size. What grew wasn’t exactly what was shown.. similar but not exact and they’re DEFINITELY NOT Dinnerplate size either! They’re beautiful though and to be honest I’m not too disappointed. I’ll definitely keep the tubers for next year and possibly order more in the beginning of the season to see if that makes a difference tho I doubt it. If there’s anything to complain about it would be the size.. I wish they were bigger and I even did a lot of disbudding and still they weren’t that big.. I’d say about 3-4 inches in diameter if that. I wish I could add a picture to show everyone.

I recieved the package quickly and got it right into soil when it arrived. The plant is thriving - unfortunatly - it is niether a dinner plate dahlia - nor is it orange. IMG_4080.jpg

They came in a plastic bag with wood shavings. I put them in the ground following the planting guidelines. A week or two later all three were peeking through the dirt. They are doing very well. I haven't fertilized any, only watered. About right inches tall with plenty of leaves. I planted them facing north with afternoon sun.

These tubers are huge and have at least 2 eyes per tuber. I am very pleased with these and look forward to seeding beautiful blooms later in the season.

This is my first time using Holland Bulb Farms. I love planting large Dahlia gardens and have used and liked several different suppliers. I was looking for something fresh and was attracted to the selection and the price. All my bulbs (30 in total) arrived in very good condition and about half are planted and have taken root. Customer service was great as I added on to my original order. So far so good!
