AC White Rabbit is probably the most popular bicolor purple ball dahlia on the market today. She yields beautiful bi color purple and white blooms by the buckets. I grow all of Firefly Farm & Mercantile's dahlias on our farm in Cashton, WI. This allows us to bring amazingly healthy stocks. Characteristics 4-5” tall Blooms are 3-6” wide USDA Zones 8-10 (Hardy in these zones, lift and store in winter in other zones) Summer to Fall Bloom Duration: Continuous Blooms through frost starting in mid to late summer Full Sun to Partial Shade Additional Information Great for Mass Plantings, Borders, and Cutting Gardens. Great for butterflies and other pollinators Ships starting by early April. We have shipped in the fall but do please reach out for this. 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.

'AC White Rabbit' Dahlia (Informal Decorative)

'AC White Rabbit' Dahlia (Ball or Formal Decorative)

Default Title

The 'Alpha' gladiolus are always so popular in the store as this shade of purple is always so wonderful in the garden. We provide them in 12/14 cm bulbs (technically corms) so you get the best available. Gladiolus are deer, rabbits, and rodent resistant. For our large flowering glads, we bring in large 12/14 corms so you get bigger blooms. Click here for all of our gladiolus offerings. Characteristics 48" Tall Blooms in about 8-9 weeks from planting USDA Zones 8-10 (Hardy in these zones, lift and store in winter in other zones) Full Sun Bloom Color: Purple Additional Information Great for Mass Plantings, Borders, and Cutting Gardens. Great for butterflies and other pollinators Ships starting in mid to late March Key Planting Tips Plant gladiolus 4" deep with an amended soil with 10-10-10 or something similar. Just make sure the first number (nitrogen) is 5 or 10. Or plant with a finished compost. Stagger your planting every 2 weeks so you can enjoy blooms continuously all summer. To lift and store for winter, simply go dig up corms after the foliage has faeded to yellow/brown. Separate the mother corm and compost/dispose and most of the time you will have two new corms. We sepearate those usually when we dig them up after we hose them off. Dry in a single layer out of the sun for a 10-14 days then we simply place in netting or crates for winter. They are not stored with any medium - this is partly why Grandma loved them so much.

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 and grown 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.

'Break Out' Dahlia (Dinnerplate)

'Cafe Au Lait' Dahlia (Dinnerplate) - The blossoms hues of whites and pinks will brighten your landscape and arrangements. I recommend starting this variety 2-3 months ahead of the last frost as it seems to be one of the last ones to bloom every year. The color and bloom structure will vary until the cool weather sets in. We grew out quite a few this year for some weddings and have had a good harvest. Dinnerplate Dahlias are awesome additions to any garden. They provide structure and color to any garden with minimal effort. They do rather well in the back of your beds because of their size or even in stand-alone rows. They reward gardeners with an abundance of blooms starting in mid to late summer through frost. Typically they are not bothered by diseases and have attractive foliage until frost. Characteristics 30”-50” in height Blooms are 6-8” wide USDA Zones 8-10 (Hardy in these zones, lift and store in winter in other zones) Summer to Fall Bloom Duration: Continuous Blooms through frost starting in mid to late summer Full Sun to Partial Shade Additional Information Great for Mass Plantings, Borders, and Cutting Gardens.

To lift and store for winter, simply go dig up corms after the foliage has faeded to yellow/brown. Separate the mother corm and compost/dispose and most of the time you will have two new corms. We sepearate those usually when we dig them up after we hose them off. Dry in a single layer out of the sun for a 10-14 days then we simply place in netting or crates for winter. They are not stored with any medium - this is partly why Grandma loved them so much.

Plant gladiolus 4" deep with an amended soil with 10-10-10 or something similar. Just make sure the first number (nitrogen) is 5 or 10. Or plant with a finished compost. 
Stagger your planting every 2 weeks so you can enjoy blooms continuously all summer. 
To lift and store for winter, simply go dig up corms after the foliage has faeded to yellow/brown.  Separate the mother corm and compost/dispose and most of the time you will have two new corms.  We sepearate those usually when we dig them up after we hose them off.  Dry in a single layer out of the sun for a 10-14 days then we simply place in netting or crates for winter. They are not stored with any medium - this is partly why Grandma loved them so much.

Gabbie's Wish is a Swan Island creation. Her name comes from Gabbie, a team member's daughter, who loved that one and they named it after her. She is tall and is my tallest. She blooms by the end of August for us so we get more than enough blooms to enjoy her. 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. Characteristics 5-6' tall Blooms are 4-5” wide USDA Zones 8-10 (Hardy in these zones, lift and store in winter in other zones) Summer to Fall Bloom Duration: Continuous Blooms through frost starting in mid to late summer Full Sun to Partial Shade Additional Information Great for Mass Plantings, Borders, and Cutting Gardens. Great for butterflies and other pollinators Ships starting by early April. We have shipped in the fall but do please reach out for this. 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.
