Dahlias could be one of the most enchanting flowers in the garden. Originally cultivated by the Aztecs in Mexico for food and medicine, this magical plant is a prolific bloomer and a mesmerizing beauty. The dahlia grows from tubers, which also proliferate below ground throughout the growing season as you harvest the flowers. One tuber creates a mound that can be divided for an infinite number of dahlias. We supply you with a total of eight tubers and potted plants and all the know-how to be successful at growing, dividing and multiplying your own dahlia garden.

What is included:
The Dahlia Lover’s Garden Starter Kit includes dahlia tubers, a 10 page color PDF resource of everything you need to know about growing dahlias in arid climates with regenerative gardening practices. The kit includes a handmade dahlia zine, an original poem, and a step-by-step graphic one-pager you can take to the garden with you. The collection includes a mix of colors – white, bright and soft pink, orange, burgundy, yellow and some surprise hues that are difficult to describe. The mix will be a range of dahlia flower types such as ball, decorative, water lily and anemone.
