Day Dreamer

Day Dreamer brings a soft, luminous quality to the garden, with blooms that resemble water lilies resting on the surface of a pond. Apricot-peach petals open gently around a pale lemon center, creating a glow that feels light and cheerful.

It is a highly prolific variety, both in bloom production and tuber growth, offering consistency season after season. The form adds a quiet softness to the planting, making it especially valuable for balancing more structured or saturated varieties.

What you will receive

Each listing is for one dahlia tuber.

Your tuber will be a healthy, individual tuber with at least one viable eye or clear evidence of viability appropriate to the season. As a living product, tubers naturally vary in shape and size.

Shipping information

Tubers ship in spring once weather conditions are appropriate for safe transit and planting preparation. Orders may ship in batches based on region and seasonal timing.

Please note that if your order includes multiple varieties, all tubers may ship together.

Growing notes

Dahlias thrive in full sun, fertile well-draining soil, and consistent watering once established. For best results, plant after danger of frost has passed and soil has begun to warm.

Day Dreamer is a vigorous and prolific grower, producing a steady supply of blooms throughout the season. Pinching when plants reach approximately 12 inches tall encourages branching and increased bloom production. It is also known for producing strong tuber clumps, making it a reliable choice for future seasons.

Please note

Because tubers are perishable, seasonal products, all sales are final. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 5 days of delivery so we can make it right where appropriate.
