Mighty bloom power on rugged, beautiful little 12- to 14-inch plants! Figaro is the best landscaping dahlia because its 2 1/2-to 3-inch blooms are brilliantly colored and abundant, jostling one another for position above fresh green foliage. And it has one of the longest bloom seasons we know for a dahlia—the plants stay colorful from early summer till frost. This mix contains decorative types in a range of warm colors, including shades of yellow, orange, pink, and red. So much bloom power in so little space!

Easy to grow from seed, this dahlia may be started indoors 4 to 6 weeks before last anticipated frost or sown directly into the garden. It will do best in full sun and in moist, fertile, well-drained soil. After the bloom ends in fall, dig up the plant and retrieve the tuber, which can then be replanted next spring and for many more to come. Hardy in zones 9 and south (or zone 8 with winter protection); elsewhere, dig up the tuber and store in a frost-free location.
