Dahlias
Dahlias are offered as dwarf, regular, and dinner plate plants. Choose the plant type and pot option from the current list; price and availability are shown for each selection.
Secret Garden confirms availability, sends current photos and order updates, and includes free similar plants with every order. Pickup is free; Eagle River delivery is $10 or free on local orders over $100.
Dahlias are frost-tender tuberous plants grown for summer flowers. Dwarf forms stay compact, regular dahlias cover a wider range of heights and flower forms, and dinner plate cultivars produce the largest blooms and usually need the most support.

Growing notes
Growing conditions
Give dahlias sun, steady water, and a pot that is not tiny.
Check pot weight before watering. Wind can make the plant look thirsty even when the root ball is still wet.
Remove spent flowers to keep the plant working on new buds.
Protect from frost. Dahlias are not frost-proof.
If the plant is tall, give it shelter or a small stake before wind bends the stems.
Plant health
Problems to watch for
Dahlias can wilt after a rough move. Water them in and give them a calmer first day.
Yellowing near the bottom can come from crowding, wet soil, or older shaded leaves.
Do not bury stems deep like tomatoes.
If you want to keep tubers later, ask about that before the season ends.
