Dahlia Early Bird Mix

The dahlia for those who want colour as early as possible. Early Bird Mix has been bred specifically for speed — blooming weeks ahead of standard varieties, often as early as late June, with no staking required and a compact, bushy habit that looks after itself through the season.

Semi-double and double flowers in a vibrant mix of red, violet, yellow, orange, and bronze on sturdy 50–60cm plants that flower continuously from late June right through to the first frost. The most reliable dahlia in the range for a long, uninterrupted display.
