Dahlia Seeds from Pinky O

Dahlia Seeds – Open Pollinated Seeds

Dahlias grown from seed are wonderfully unpredictable and can vary greatly from the parent plant, making every seedling a surprise.

These open pollinated seeds saved from Pinky O (collarette) have been collected from The Petal Patch flower farm where dahlias are grown for their form, cut flower performance or beauty — meaning you never know what you could get. Each seed offers the opportunity to create your very own brand new variety.

Growing dahlias from seed is how new varieties are produced. They will not grow true to the parent plant, though they may inherit some of its qualities. No two seedlings will be the same, and each one has the potential to become the next sought after Dahlia.

Dahlia seedlings will produce tubers in their first year, allowing you to keep and grow your favourites again in future seasons.

Germination times can vary significantly. Some seeds may sprout in as little as two days, while others can take a month under the same conditions.
