Description

Dahlia 'Blue Bell' captivates with its stunning purple-blue blooms that gracefully transition to lavender-blue as they mature.

1 Bulb

Plant Blue Bell tubers in spring after all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures reach approximately 60°F. Select a location with full sun and well-draining, fertile soil. Space tubers 12-18 inches apart at a depth of 4-6 inches. In USDA zones 8-11, tubers can remain in the ground year-round. In zones 3-7, dig up tubers after the first frost, allow to dry, and store in a cool, dry place for winter. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming.
