Planted a couple weeks ago, hoping to see sprouts soon!
Planted my daliahs promptly and within 6 weeks I have some 36 inch healthy plants. I'm just not sure if I was sent the right ones. They're starting to bloom but look more like yellow daisies. The flower diameter is about 1-1/2" . I'm sure that HBF will make it right. I will be emailing them a picture of what's growing.
I have few surprises for order : 1) I order it on friday and recived it on next Tuesday evening . The bulbs were good size and tight. 2) the next day I planted it immediately , after three weeks , I can see not only plant grown feet also it has flower buds
These tubers were in great shape and the mix was beautiful. However none included in the mix were actually ball dahlias. There were two 3-4 ft decorative varieties that were orange and white. There were also some small mignon dahlias that look like mignon varieties in red, fuschia pink, and white with yellow and pink streaking (they are gorgeous), as well as some orchid variety of fuschia colored dahlias. I’m happy with the variety I receive in any case. I’ll look into getting ball varieties for next season.
The dahlia arrived in great shape and I started them early in the basement and they are growing nicely outdoors, in pots.
