This variety is: ORETI ADELE. Oreti Adele has the most perfect petal arrangement, with coloring that catches the eye in the garden and arrangements. The blooms 3-4 inches in diameter, pale yellow, with pastel pink dipped petal tips. The pink edges seems to look bolder later in the season. It has long stems that fit well in vases. This variety makes great cut flowers for arrangements. The plant is medium-sized, usually reaching about 3.5 feet in height in my garden. Blooms mid-summer through fall. My name's Eve, and I am a dahlia farmer and college student in Battle Ground, WA. My passion for dahlias started with a few tubers from a friend, and grew into an obsession. I am very excited to offer these tubers (bulbs) from my dahlia garden. Learn more about me on my website: www.gardensbyevelyn.com.

They make eye-catching additions to flower beds, and are popular cut flowers for bouquets and arrangements.The blooms can be as small as ping pong balls, or as large as frisbees. They come in almost every color. Blooms can be fluffy, flat, spiked, variegated, two-toned, striped, ball-shaped, twisted, ruffled, and more. Plant dahlia tubers in the spring for blooms that begin in the summer and continue until frost. -How to grow dahliasDahlias are super easy to grow! They like full sun, with healthy soil (not too much nitrogen), and consistent water.They happily grow as a perennial in well-drained soils where winter temperatures remain above 20 F (–6.7 C). Mulch can help to keep them warm. In colder climates, dahlias need to be dug up, stored in a garage or basement (at around 40-50 F, 4.5-10 C), and planted again the next spring.Note that if you don’t want to bother digging them up, that’s okay. One plant makes so many blooms in a season that many consider dahlias worth the annual investment.LEARN MORE about planting, pruning, storing, and dividing dahlias on my website: www.gardensbyevelyn.com/growdahlias -Product detailsThere are pictures of example tubers in the listing, above. One tuber = one dahlia plant = many blooms per plant. The number of blooms per plant varies, depending on the variety (the smaller the bloom, the more you tend to get per plant).I use a soil-based storage technique so the tubers will be dirty, dry, tough, firm, and healthy. Learn more about this unconventional technique and why I do it, here: www.gardensbyevelyn.com/the-easiest-way-to-store-dahlia-tubers All dahlia tubers are carefully inspected for at least one “eye” prior to shipping (an eye is a tiny bud on a tuber that will sprout when planted). Sometimes eyes can be VERY small, or may not have started sprouting yet. As soon as the tuber is planted in damp soil, eye growth will begin.Learn more about spotting eyes on dahlia tubers, here: www.gardensbyevelyn.com/how-to-identify-an-eye-on-a-dahlia-tuber Important Note: I only ship within the continental US due to laws regarding the export of plant materials.
