Fast Blooming Varieties

If you live in a short growing season or are just anxious to see blooms, these varieties take an average of 75 days to bloom. Like all dahlias, tuber production takes about 4 months or 120 days. If you don’t have this long to have the plant in the ground, then they will be annuals or have poor tuber production.

Several hot pink, spiky blooms run across the image, with leaves visible surrounding the flowers.
