Professional Growing Information I planted 3 of these into the ground at the end of May (in metro Detroit - 6A). Due to unforseen circumstances, I was unable to care for them until very recently (Sept). These plants only received rain and spray from sprinklers (if windy). These 3 plants grew huge - easily 2 1/2 ft wide x 2 ft tall and they are covered in blooms. They are gorgeous! I finally was able to dead head the plants to tidy them up, but dead heading was not needed to get loads of blooms. These are incredible and I'll look for more in 2027.

Donna Yerkes GRANDE CANCUN This was my first time growing this particular variety of Dahlia. The flowers were gorgeous more cranberry with white tips and 4-6 inch flowers and about 10-12 continuously blooming on each stem from June to October. I'm so happy with them thst I bought a book on overwintering the tubers. I plan on trading with locals for different varieties. I'm hooked on Dahlais, you definitely get your money's worth when investing in dahlias from this company.
