Peanut Brittle- Dahlia Tuber

This variety is: PEANUT BRITTLE.

Peanut Brittle is a super productive, reliable bloomer. A breathtaking peach-orange color with slight undertones of coral pink, with informal, decorative, ruffled petals that hold up well in vases. The flowers are about 5 inches in diameter, and have long stems. This variety makes great cut flowers for arrangements. The plant is grows to about 4-5 feet tall in my garden. Blooms mid-summer through fall. 

My name's Eve, and I am a dahlia farmer in Washington State. My passion for dahlias started with a few tubers from a friend, and grew into an obsession. I am very excited to offer these tubers (bulbs) from my dahlia garden. Learn more about me on my website: www.gardensbyevelyn.com.

-What are dahlias?
Dahlias are stunning, semi-tender, and tuberous perennial plants. They make eye-catching additions to flower beds, and are popular cut flowers for bouquets and arrangements.
The blooms can be as small as ping pong balls, or as large as frisbees. They come in almost every color. Blooms can be fluffy, flat, spiked, variegated, two-toned, striped, ball-shaped, twisted, ruffled, and more. Plant dahlia tubers in the spring for blooms that begin in the summer and continue until frost.

-How to grow dahlias
Dahlias are super easy to grow! They like full sun, with healthy soil (not too much nitrogen), and consistent water.
They happily grow as a perennial in well-drained soils where winter temperatures remain above 20 F (–6.7 C). Mulch can help to keep them warm. In colder climates, dahlias need to be dug up, stored in a garage or basement (at around 40-50 F, 4.5-10 C), and planted again the next spring.
Note that if you don’t want to bother digging them up, that’s okay. One plant makes so many blooms in a season that many consider dahlias worth the annual investment.

-Product details
There are pictures of example tubers in the listing, above. One tuber = one dahlia plant = many blooms per plant. The number of blooms per plant varies, depending on the variety (the smaller the bloom, the more you tend to get per plant).

I use a soil-based storage technique so the tubers will be dirty, dry, tough, firm, and healthy. Learn more about this unconventional technique and why I do it, here: www.gardensbyevelyn.com/the-easiest-way-to-store-dahlia-tubers

All dahlia tubers are carefully inspected for at least one “eye” prior to shipping (an eye is a tiny bud on a tuber that will sprout when planted). Sometimes eyes can be VERY small, or may not have started sprouting yet. As soon as the tuber is planted in damp soil, eye growth will begin.

Important Note: I only ship within the continental US due to laws regarding the export of plant materials.
