Preference is a graceful semi-cactus dahlia known for its soft salmon-pink blooms tipped in soft white. Growing 48-60 inches tall, it produces perfectly shaped, spiky flowers measuring 4–6 inches across on sturdy stems. Blooming steadily from midsummer until the first frost, Preference brings refined color and texture to borders, beds, and bouquets.
Bloomtime: Midsummer-Fall
Height: 40" Tall
Spacing: 18-20"
Height: 48-60"
Hardy in USDA zones 8–10.
In colder zones, lift tubers after frost and store in a cool, dry place.
Out of the 3 varieties of dahlias I got all three sprouted but then promptly wilted due to the hot wether here in Florida. I was unable to bring two of them, this one included back to life. The third one is currently just now sprouting up again in October, and after some research that I should have done before ordering I’m supposed to plant these in the fall here anyways.
Tubers also came in clumps rather than singular tubers for anyone who has a preference, I did however at least not see any signs of gall or other diseases
Its growing great just waiting for it to bloom
I was totally impressed by the size of the tubers. Can't wait to see them in full bloom. And of course the warmth that's coming will help.
Tubers came in great health , I had two tubers in my pack and was only supposed to be one. I planted both and they are happily sprouted and growing. Thank you!
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
