I had ordered a dahlia called Advance on sale but received this one but no complaints as it feels like I have my own sun shining in my garden. I have lots of compliments on this one flower this season and was encouraged to enter in our local flower show and I did.
Having always received great products from Breck's, I know I can trust them. The dinner plate dahlia tuber I received was just the latest one I ordered this year. Its big and strong-looking and I expect great things from it.
Each January, like all avid gardeners, I begin to receive gardening catalogs by the cart load. So many offer remarkably low prices on what the catalog shows to be beautiful flowers. I order many dahlias each year and sometimes fall for the low price offers. When they come they are miniscule and few survive. Not so with orders from Holland Bulbs. My order came with hefty multi tuber clumps that will produce flowers right away and not have to wait a year or two for the tubers to grow and multiply. Avoid the temptation from low end merchandisers.
All the tubers arrived in good condition and packaged well. Most of them already sprouted! Today, as I'm typing this review, all four of my plants are giving me big beautiful blooms. I am also a first time grower, so I definitely recommend Holland bulb farms for beginners!
My first time growing Dinnerplate Dahlias!! Not my last!! They were so beautiful that neighbors came over to admire them and wanted to know the name of them!! Kelvin Floodlight is my favorite!!
