25 American Dawn Dahlia Seeds - Perennial Flower Seeds for Planting

American Dawn Dahlia is a striking perennial known for its vibrant, sunset-toned blooms that blend shades of coral, peach, and soft pink. These flowers rise on sturdy stems above dark green foliage, creating a bold display in garden beds, borders, and cutting gardens. Dahlias are favorites for their long bloom season and excellent performance as cut flowers, adding warmth and elegance to fresh arrangements.

Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, lightly cover with soil, and keep consistently moist. Provide bright light or grow lights for strong seedlings. Once the danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed, harden off seedlings and transplant outdoors in a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, dig up tubers after the first frost and store in a cool, dry place for winter.
