    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Ball) - Isabel

    Perfect form and gorgeous color. Not as abundant as the Red Runners but can't wait to split them to have even more next season. Bottom bloom in photo

    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Ball) - Isabel

    These feel like a darker purple than I was expecting a photograph a little bit brighter, but in person they’re more like a dark burgundy

    Customer photo review of Dahlia Tubers (Ball) - Isabel

    The bulbs were all well packed and arrived healthy. All grew and this one looks fairly close to the pictures on the website. It's really pretty in person.

    Dahlia Tubers (Ball) - Isabel

    These are so pretty. They start out a purple/lavender color and lighten to a bubblegum pink. I loved putting them in green vases.

    Dahlia Tubers (Ball) - Isabel

    Store owner replied: Hello Kelly T. Thank you for sharing your experience with this variety, and we are sorry you haven't seen any blooms yet. With a mid-June planting in Zone 5, the plant had a shorter growing window to establish roots, develop foliage, and set buds before cooler fall temperatures arrived, which can delay or prevent flowering that first season. Dahlias perform best with 6–8 hours of sun, consistent deep watering, good drainage, and fertilizer that isn’t too high in nitrogen; a low-nitrogen bloom fertilizer can also help support flowering. Since dahlias are not reliably winter hardy in Zone 5, we recommend lifting the tubers after frost and storing them in a cool, dark, frost-free location for the winter. If successfully overwintered, planting the tubers earlier next season once the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed should give them a much longer growing window and hopefully the opportunity to reward you with blooms. We are glad we were able to provide a resolution and that you’ve already used it to choose something new to try. We hope your next addition brings you the beautiful results you’re looking forward to!

    Each flower was perfectly formed. The folded petals are gorgeous.This I found interesting. I had two tubers. One Isabel was the color in photo, pinkish, and the other is lilac! Lucky me but thinking the true Isabel color is pinkish. Both are charming!

    I am very pleased with my blooms. So very pretty and the farther into the season the more I have. I only wish I new the right way to deadhead sooner, but I have it under control now.

    only one plant has germinated so far and it is small with no flowers. I planted other Dahlia Bulbs types at the same time and they are much bigger and producing flowers. I also have Dahlia Lait that only one of 2 bulb groups has sprouted but still small and no flowers.
