Why Frost Nip Dahlia is a Show-Stopping Fluff Monster

Salmon-Pink Stunner:
Frost Nip is the kind of dahlia that demands attention. With fully double, 10-inch dinnerplate blooms, its salmon-pink petals shimmer with white tips like they’ve been dusted with fairy magic. Introduced in 1988, this extravagant variety has remained a favorite for good reason—it’s a true garden classic.

Color That Changes with the Season:
Depending on the temperature, Frost Nip’s petals shift from a bronzy hue to a deep, rich pink, always with those signature white tips. It’s like growing two stunning flowers in one! This makes it a versatile addition to any garden or arrangement, blending effortlessly with both warm and cool palettes.

Built to Impress:
Frost Nip isn’t just beautiful—it’s strong. With sturdy stems that hold up its massive blooms, this variety is as reliable as it is striking. Perfect for cutting or leaving on the plant to dazzle in the garden, Frost Nip is a fluff monster you’ll want to show off.

Plant it. Grow it. Watch Frost Nip bring magic to your garden. 🌸✨

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

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.
