Awe Shucks Dahlia (Bloom Size BB/Waterlily)

Dahlia Bloom Time Guide
Dahlias may take their time, but the show is always worth the wait. On average, you’ll see your first blooms about 90 days after planting. But timing depends on the variety:

• Quick starters, like dwarf and low-growing types, can bloom as early as 75 days—just when summer hits its stride.
• Dinnerplate giants and other large-bloom varieties may take closer to 120 days to fully unfurl their spectacular petals.

The magic of dahlias? Once they start, they don’t stop—blooming beautifully all the way until first frost.

Of course, bloom time depends on a few key ingredients: plenty of sun, deep, consistent watering, fertile soil, and a little gardener’s love. Get those right, and your dahlias will put on a show you won’t forget.
