Description
Beautiful, salmon pink color and a large 8″ – 10″ bloom. Islander gives you lots of blooms for a dinner plate dahlia, which typically will give you 8-10 blooms per season. Thick stems hold that big flower upright, really impressive and is a customer favorite. Big tubers and a good tuber producer. Nice foliage.
Growers Notes:
- Dahlias are planted in spring after the soil has warmed up to 60 degrees
- Plant when night time temperatures are consistently in the 50’s
- Plant around the same time you would plant corn, potatoes and other warm season crops
- Plant dahlia tubers in an area that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight per day
- No extra water until sprout is 5”-6” tall, normal spring rains will give all the moisture it needs
- After the dahlia sprout is 6”, deep soak every 2-3 days
