Spider Woman Dahlia

Spider-like blooms of maroon and white, the Spider Woman Dahlia (Dahlia 'Spider Woman') is a gorgeous and frilly thriller for your sun garden! Sometimes called the Hollyhill Spider Woman Dahlia, these 6-inch wide flowers are fringy and whimsical!

Growing from a base of lush green leaves, growing 1-3 feet wide, the tall 36-48 inch tall stems have multiple buds that open in turn, giving you a very long flowering season and plenty of blooms for butterflies, bees, and pollinators to enjoy! Plus loads of stems to snip for bouquets!

Dahlia grows as annual accents or seasonal flowers throughout all growing zones from 1 to 11 but can be perennial bulbs that stay in the ground year-round in frost-free growing zones. Simply lift the bulbs in the fall and keep them as you would Canna. Keep them in a cool dark place for the winter.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Plant Dahlia tubers in full sun for the best growth and the most blooms! The morning sun is best due to its drying power to clear the leaves of dew. Delicate Dahlia foliage also appreciates afternoon shade in hot climates and everywhere they love good air circulation! The key to successfully growing Dahlias is well-enriched soil with regular fertilizer. It is recommended that you add 3-4 inches of arborist bark mulch for consistent soil moisture and protect the roots.

Even though they are often 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.

Dahlia tubers in climates with freezing winters need to be "lifted" in the fall before the ground freezes solid. Store these bulbs in a cool, dark place for the winter.
