Why Cecil Dahlia is a Designer’s Dream
Peachy-Coral Perfection:
Cecil is all about warm, glowing color. Its blooms shift between coral, peach, and apricot with soft golden undertones, creating an ever-changing display that works beautifully in any palette. Whether you’re designing bouquets or just admiring them in the garden, Cecil brings the perfect balance of warmth and softness.
Long Stems, Early Blooms:
One of the earliest bloomers on our farm, Cecil doesn’t waste time getting started. It produces loads of flowers on long, sturdy stems, making it an easy favorite for designers, market bouquets, and home gardeners who want reliable, cut-worthy blooms all season long.
Effortlessly Versatile:
With its soft yet vibrant tones, Cecil pairs well with just about anything. Whether you’re going for bold, moody arrangements or light, airy pastels, this variety blends beautifully while still holding its own.
Plant it. Cut it. Let Cecil bring its sun-kissed beauty to your garden. 🌸🍑✨

Customer Conduct Policy
Customer Conduct Policy
We’re all about respectful and constructive communication—it’s how we ensure a positive experience for everyone in our growing community. If you have feedback or concerns, please reach out to us directly so we can resolve the issue promptly and fairly. We’re here to help, and we take pride in finding solutions that work.
That said, we reserve the right to refuse service, cancel orders, or void guarantees if a customer engages in disrespectful behavior. Over the years, we’ve seen too many growers face devastating challenges because of impatient or unfair actions, like airing complaints publicly on social media before giving the business a chance to address them.
Here’s the deal: If customer service matters are taken public before we’ve had a chance to help, we may choose to walk away and void guarantees. Likewise, if we see posts that are intentionally damaging or rude behavior toward other growers in the community, we reserve the right to decline your orders altogether.
We’re all in this together, so let’s keep it kind, constructive, and focused on growing beautiful things. 🌱
Grow & Care
Grow & Care
Dahlias are tender perennials, vigorous and fast growing. Dahlia tubers must be lifted for the winter from the ground in zones 7 and lower.
Planting:
Dahlias require soil that drains freely. Clay soil should be amended. Planting in raised beds can help alleviate moisture concerns. Tuber loss due to moisture rot is the leading cause for plant loss.
Plant 6" deep. Dig hole at least twice the width of your tuber to reduce soil compaction.
Label and stake your Dahlia at planting. Tubers do not need to be watered unless you are dealing with especially dry conditions. Whatever Mother Nature provides will be enough.
Care:
When Dahlias reach 10-12", the center tip should be pinched. This will create a bushier plan and yield more blooms. Without pinching, the plant will grow one tall, thick central stalk.
Your Dahlias will bloom from mid-summer until frost. Keep spent blooms trimmed and you'll enjoy repeat blooms all season long.
