I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Dahlia 'El Paso' is a decorative variety with cream-colored petals accented by a lilac-pink overlay and a hint of yellow at the center. As the 4 to 6 inch blooms mature, their colors deepen, creating a glowing effect in garden beds and floral arrangements. This dahlia reaches a height of 24 to 36 inches, forming a sturdy, upright habit. Blooming from midsummer until frost, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for borders, containers, and cutting gardens. Its long, dark stems enhance its suitability for floral displays. Hardy in USDA zones 3 to 10.

Planting: In spring, plant tubers 3 to 4 inches deep with the eye facing up, once soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Space 18 to 24 inches apart to accommodate their full, bushy growth.
Location: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) is essential for strong stems and prolific blooms.
Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or aged manure before planting.
Watering: Water deeply once or twice a week, keeping soil evenly moist but not soggy. Avoid watering until shoots emerge to prevent rot.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 8–10. In colder zones, lift tubers after frost and store in a cool, dry place.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer monthly or use a slow-release formula at planting and midsummer. Avoid high-nitrogen feeds to prevent leggy growth.
Pruning: Pinch back when plants reach 12 inches tall to encourage branching. Deadhead regularly to extend bloom time.
Pest & Disease: Watch for aphids, spider mites, and fungal issues. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
Propagation: Divide tubers in spring, ensuring each division has at least one viable eye.
