Lakeland Autumn Dahlia

The flowers turned out to be purple and white, nothing like the pictures. However they are beautiful and healthy plants.

These tubers were planted in a really crowded flower bed - right next to other tubers and a lot of Gladioulus but they are thriving. All 3 tubers are growing into beautiful plants. 2 of the plants are of medium size - approx 8" and 1 of them is about half the size. The flower bed was prepared with peat moss, soil and cow manure and compost, and is watered almost everyday. I did not put Preen around the tubers after planting and I noticed a few Poison Ivy after a few days. I planted these on the weekend of the 4th of July and although I do not see any buds yet, but there is a lot of foliage and I am looking forward to their blooms.

Bulbs were well packaged and sprouting beautifully since planted. Can’t wait to see when it’s full grown.

I am very excited about these! I ordered a few different types of dahlias and they all started showing greenery in a week after I planted them and they are doing very well now! I am very pleased and very excited about these flowers!

Two of the three tuber clumps were a nice size. The third clump had smaller tubers and should still be fine.
