Cut Flower Floret Dahlia Seedlings
Dahlia variablis
Cut flower Floret Dahlia seedlings, grown by Gray Floral NZ and shipping NZ wide.
Like many flower lovers, we have long been inspired by Erin and the Floret team and the beautiful flowers they grow, and it is so exciting to be growing seed from the Floret Originals breeding programme! We are thrilled to be able to share these plants with you.
We have two dahlia varieties available, and if you are new to seedling dahlias, please be aware that no two plants will be the same! It will be a complete lucky dip as to what flowers you may grow, and is such a fun way to grow dahlias. There are so many treasures waiting to be discovered - we can't wait to see the special flowers that come from these plants. Each one is a new variety, and will flower & produce tubers for you this season.
Please note dahlias are frost tender - depending on where in the country you are, you may need to provide frost protection if your region experiences late frosts.
For in-depth information on each variety please visit the Floret website:

Pinching: Dahlias will branch and form sturdier plants better when pinched, we have pre pinched these plants for you so they are ready to go!
Harvest: Dahlias do not open much more in the vase, so you want to harvest when they are open, but before the bees have had a chance to pollinate them.
Vase life: 5-7 days
All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots") before planting.
We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool wrap that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. On arrival, take your plants out of the box and give them a good drink of water - you can leave them wrapped in the wool to do this! When you're ready to plant or pot on you can unwrap the seedlings, but they will happily spend a couple of days in their wool blanket before planting.
This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
