hi

i just bought the bulbs: red dinner plate - "garden wonder", and " duet".

can you tell me how tall do they get? can they take part sun/mostly shade? do you have to stake them? if i plant them now, when do they bloom? for southern california, how long are the blooming season?

any info will be helpful. this is my first time with dahlia - i want it to be a success. i have been an admirer for too long.

thanks!

Oooohhhh very pretty! I just looked it up and here's what it says about Garden Wonder:
-Plants are a tidy 2 feet tall, perfect for border use. Plant in full and enjoy lots of color from summer through fall. We ship plump premium tubers primed for growth in your garden. Order soon, especially for quantities.

And for Duet:
-An extravagantly colorful bi-color. Duet is a very choice garden dahlia. Plants grow strongly to just under 3 feet tall, and produce loads of red-purple and pure white 4-inch flowers. The base of the petals are red, the tips white. It is a showy specimen for cutting, and an eye-catcher in the garden.

Hope that helps! I started Dahlias about 3 yrs ago, and this year I'm making a HUGE order (for my little yard lol) They are a very VERY addicting flower specimen. I know I'm hooked! I'll be getting ones that are 13" accross (the flower that is)

Enjoy!
Redd~
