HAVE A GREAT GROWING YEAR!
This year I will be offering tubers for sale. Prices are next to each variety.
Contact me at ClearCreekDahlias@yahoo.com for an order invoice or to inquire about the availability of a variety. And yes, checks and PayPal are accepted.
For those of you who are new to dahlias, let me explain some of the numbers and letters after the variety names. LS is limited stock: last year was a terrible year for growing dahlias. The four digit number is the American Dahlia Society classification number.
The letters stand for the Size:
AA (Giant) over 10 inches in diameter
A (Large) 8-10 inches in diameter
B (Medium) 6-8 inches in diameter
BB (Small) 4-6 inches in diameter
M (Miniature) up to 4 inches in diameter
BA (Ball) over 3.5 inches in diameter
MB (Miniature Ball) 2-3.5 inches in diameter
P (Pompon) up to 2 inches in diameter
S (Single) over 2 inches in diameter
MS (Mignon Single) up to 2 inches in diameter
(Note: this is the classification size. Dahlias may be larger or smaller depending on weather, soil, and gardening practices. Dahlias may also be a little different from the colors in the photos depicted in the gallery, due to your computer monitor settings, and all the things that also affect bloom size.)

AN Anemone-flowering

C Straight Cactus
CO Collarette
FD Formal Decorative
