Last Dance produces some amazing blooms in large quantities. If you love bouquets with hints of purple this is the dahlia for you!
Just like all of our dahlias, every tuber comes from our farm and each one is hand planted and hand harvested by my wife Bonnie and me.
Formal decorative blooms are prized for enjoyment in the garden and to work with floral designs. They offer blossoms that are neat and uniform. Their 3-4" blooms are easy to work with as well.

Key Planting Tips
We plant dahlia tubers 4-6" deep. We add a few alfafla pellets in the hole and backfill with topsoil amended with compost. We space this variety 18" apart. We recommend to simply pinch back the shoots after about 3-4 weeks to encourage branching.
You can amend soil with 10-10-10 or something similar. Just make sure the first number (nitrogen) is 5 or 10. You can fertilize every 4 weeks to help achieve larger blossoms.
For 90% of us, don’t water until your Dahlia sprouts. If your soil is very dry, water the soil first and then let it stand for 30 minutes before planting. Mulch around your plant leaving bare dirt directly above the tuber.
Every tuber is inspected by me (Andre Paquette) and then hand packed for shipment. In case of any issues, we reach our proactively to go over options. If you have any questions hit the Chat with Us Now button simply reach out by email or a phone call.
