Dahlia Tuber - Mero Star

Dinner Plate Dahlias are the epitome of floral splendor.

With their immense, dinner plate-sized blooms and vibrant colors, these botanical wonders never fail to captivate.

Flowering up to 120 cm tall, and their blooms up to 20cm wide, they are very easy to grow and provide a rewarding display with very little effort.

Plant the tubers with the main growing tips just below the surface of the soil. Firm the soil around the tubers, being careful not to damage them.

Some taller varieties may need staking and an occasional spray with a fungicide is beneficial to control powdery mildew. To prolong the flowering, pluck off old flowers.

This encourages further flowering. Cut back spent foliage to ground level each Autumn.
