Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Growing Zones
Fluffy Laciniate blooms that look shaggy and fluffy, the Omega Dahlia (Dahlia 'Omega') is a sweet mauvy pink bloom with a peachy gold glow radiating from the center of each pompom of tousled frilly petals!
Omega Dahlia forms dense mounds of glossy showy foliage and stands up on tall strong stems! These flowering stems are the perfect bloom for your bouquets and stand tall for your pollinators and Hummingbirds to use these blossoms as fancy landing pads to alight on to sip nectar!
These huge blooms can be 8 to 10 inches wide and show off in the sun from summer until frost in fall! The plants can reach 36-48 inches tall when in full bloom and the mounds can spread 18-24 wide! Dahlia can grow in all growing zones as a seasonal annual accent but can be perennial plants in frost-free growing zones.
Landscape Application:
Omega Dahlia is a romantic addition to your Cottage garden and Rose gardens as a back-of-the-border accent or focal point! Add to cut flower gardens and Pollinator beds for flowers that benefit more than just your curb appeal!
These radiant beauties are must-haves for mixed perennial borders and add bright color to your foundation hedges and front garden beds! Even if you do not have a garden, Dahlia can be planted as seasonal accents in containers and large planters to enjoy their beauty on porches, balconies, and patios in the sun!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant Omega Dahlia bulbs in full sun for the best growth and the most blooms but delicate Dahlia foliage also appreciates afternoon shade in hot climates! The morning sun is best due to its drying power to clear the leaves of dew. They love good air circulation! The key to successfully growing Dahlias is well-enriched soil with regular fertilizer, and top-dress with 3-4 inches of arborist bark mulch for consistent soil moisture and protect the roots.
Referred to as 'bulbs' the roots of the Dahlia are tubers like potatoes and sprout from the 'eyes'. Plant Dahlia tubers between 10-12 inches deep in loosened, enriched soil. These modified roots need to be planted in very well-drained soil that won't become soggy. Tubers planted directly in the ground will start to sprout in about 3 weeks depending on your climate and weather.
Deadhead regularly for continuous rebloom and trim back yellowed foliage in the fall. Dig up the tubers for the winter. Store these bulbs in a cool, dark place for the winter.
These perennials need protection from freezing temperatures. While Dahlia can be planted in all growing zones, climates with cold winters need to "lift" the tubers in the fall before the ground freezes and store them for the winter. In frost-free winters, Dahlia can be kept in-ground all year round.
