DWARF GALLERY DAHLIAS ARE THE IDEAL DAHLIA FOR CONTAINER GARDENING!

Gallery Dahlias or dwarf dahlias as they are sometimes referred to, are a petite dahlia that blooms like crazy all summer long. Available in a wide assortment of colors, the Gallery Series of dahlias are one of the most popular at our farm for their non-stop blooms, attractive dark green foliage and petite size making them ideal as container plants or to use in the front of a perennial border. A few of our favorite Gallery Dahlias are:
We ship our premium dahlia tubers in the spring after freezing weather has ceased. Dahlias need to be planted after the last hard frost in the spring to bloom properly that summer.


Where to buy dahlias: You can purchase our dahlia tuner at our online store or at our farm and nursery in Eastern Oregon in the early spring. We only offer a limited number of dahlia tubers for each variety every year, so for best selection we recommend that you pre-order for best availability. Visit our online store to browse all of our dahlia varieties including dinner plate dahlias and cactus dahlias.

A quick background on dahlias: Native to Central America, the genus Dahlia was named in honor of Anders Dahl, an 18th century Swedish botanist. From just a handful of original species Dahlias have been hybridized over the centuries into an amazingly diversified genus, with plant sizes from 1 ft. to 7 ft. tall, and flowers in almost any color imaginable from 2 to 12 inches across. Dahlias are tender perennials, and should not be planted out until the danger of heavy frost is gone, but they can be given a head start in pots and set out after the last frost. The soil temperature should be at least 55 °F. Bulbs planted before this temperature is reached may rot before they can sprout.
