    One tuber failed to grow. The second tuber sent out two small shoots and has not bloom. There is still the rest of summer, hopefully, for some blooms.

    Dahlia Tubers (Waterlily) - Kilburn Glow

    Store owner replied: Hello Ying L. Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that one of your dahlia tubers did not grow and that the second has been slow to develop. We understand how disappointing that can be when you're eagerly awaiting summer blooms. Since your remaining plant has produced shoots, there's still a good chance it will bloom later this season. This variety is a mid- to late-season blooming waterlily dahlia, so it often takes longer to flower than some earlier varieties as it focuses on establishing strong roots and healthy foliage first. Bloom timing can also vary depending on the planting date and growing conditions. We are glad we had the opportunity to provide a resolution because we want all of our customers to enjoy thriving plants and be happy with their purchases. At Eden Brothers, we stand behind our products and hope your dahlia rewards you with beautiful blooms before the season ends!
