For the past ten years, we've had the good fortune of ordering thousands of bulbs from A.D.R. each fall to help further beautify Newport, RI. Not only is the quality of the bulbs outstanding, so is their customer service and attention to detail.

Dahlia 'Lipoma' is a miniature ball dahlia with tightly packed, rounded blooms that create a symmetrical appearance. The flowers typically reach about 3 to 4 inches across, forming a dense, globe-like shape with smooth, overlapping petals. Growing 36 to 48 inches tall, it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil, blooming steadily from midsummer until frost. Hardy in USDA zones 8 to 11.

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 bushy habit and ensure good airflow.
Location: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) is ideal. In hot climates, light afternoon shade helps prevent stress.
Soil: Well-drained, fertile loam 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: Feed monthly with a balanced or low-nitrogen fertilizer. Overfeeding nitrogen can reduce bloom quality.
Pruning: Pinch back when plants reach 12 inches tall to encourage branching. Deadhead regularly to promote continuous bloom.
Pest & Disease: Watch for aphids, slugs, and powdery mildew. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
Propagation: Divide tubers in spring, ensuring each has at least one viable eye.
