Seed Dahlia - Misc. Varieties, Annual 4" pot
Dahlia x hybrida, Seed Dahlia, Native to Central America.
FS, Produces tubers which can be dug up and stored, deadhead to prolong blooms, blooms all summer, 2-3’ x 1.5’
Dahlias are true summertime standouts in the landscape. The sheer array of size, color and form make these wonderful plants a garden favorite both easy to grow and multiplying over time. Dahlias are most commonly started from tubers, but we also start them by seed. Whereas the dahlias started with tubers are generally closed-faced, meaning there is little to no nectar or pollen for insects, the open-faced seed dahlias are eagerly sought after by pollinating insects, especially butterflies. We offer several varieties of seedlings that will grow into beautiful plants with gorgeous blooms to grace your garden.
On another note, be aware of praying mantises in your garden, because they feast on pollinating insects, especially butterflies. After finding a pile of butterfly wings on the ground under our seed dahlias, we realized that praying mantises perching next to the dahlia blossoms, were eating butterflies. Thus, we systematically removed all praying mantises from our gardens. Sure, they’re known to eat other insects, but the problem is that they eat mostly pollinating insects, the very ones we want to protect so they can increase their numbers.
Attracts multitudes of butterflies, especially Monarchs, and hosts of other insect species that feast on their abundant pollen and nectar.
