Kaleidoscope Dinnerplate Dahlia Collection
Kaleidoscope Dinnerplate Dahlia Collection
Exciting bicolour dahlias will light up your summer garden!
Create more dahlia diversity with these breathtaking bicolour blooms!
Imagine your borders and bouquets practically glowing with huge 6½-9" blooms—some with bright white tips on bold solids and one with fire red tips backlit by golden yellow. These daring dahlias are so unique and eye-catching, they hardly look real!
Carefree Summer Colour
Dahlias may look fussy, but most gardeners find them easy to grow. All they need is a sunny spot with well-drained soil and protection from strong winds. Then simply lift your dahlia clumps in the fall for winter storage.
A Pinch Bigger than Most
For the largest exhibition blooms possible, pinch the side shoots of your dahlias as they grow. This will allow the remaining flowers to receive more of the plant's food and energy. For slightly smaller blooms in higher numbers, leave the side shoots alone.
Long-Lasting Blooms in the Garden or a Vase
One of the best things about dahlias is their extended blooming season—from early summer to well into fall! And once cut for a bouquet, each dahlia bloom can last 5-10 days in a vase!
IT'S EASY TO GROW GREAT DINNERPLATE DAHLIAS
To help your dahlias get off to a good start, we'll include a free Breck's Planting Handbook with your order. You can also download our free Dahlia Planting Handbook at Brecks.com/dahliaguide for even more information about properly growing and maintaining these incredible flowers!

Dahlia Tips & Growing Instructions
In areas with winter freeze, carefully dig the tubers in fall after the frost kills the foliage. Cut the stalk approximately 6" above the tuber. Dahlias should be dried for only a couple of hours before storing in plastic-lined shallow boxes with a blanket of vermiculite or peat moss. Hardy in Zones 8-10.
