World Series Dahlias – Imported “Unicorn” Dahlia Tubers
Meet the World Series Dahlias – a special collection of imported varieties that haven’t yet been grown out in our own fields, but were just too tempting not to share. These are the dahlia tubers you hunt for when you want something rare, different, and a little bit thrilling.
Each listing in this collection is for one single-division dahlia tuber, not a gnarly pot-tuber clump. Many imported dahlias are sold as tiny, beat-up clumps with broken necks; we take the extra time to separate, clean, and inspect each division so you’re starting with a stronger piece of planting stock for your dahlia garden, cut flower patch, or cottage garden.
Dracula
Dahlia Dracula may be small, but this little beauty has plenty of personality! With rich magenta red blooms, purple undertones, and delicate pink edges, Dracula brings bold color to a compact plant. Its cheerful, daisy shaped flowers pop against striking dark foliage, creating a gorgeous contrast that's impossible to miss.
Growing to just 1 foot tall with blooms reaching approximately 3 inches across, Dracula is a fantastic choice for patio pots, containers, garden borders, and smaller growing spaces. Part of the Dark Angel series, this compact dahlia was bred with container gardening in mind, making it easy to enjoy beautiful blooms even when garden space is limited. Dark leaves, vibrant flowers, and a little bit of attitude? Dracula has it all!

How To Plant Dahlias
To get your dahlias started, pick a sunny spot with soil that drains well. Dig a hole, lay the tuber flat, and cover it with soil about 3 inches deep. Hold off on watering for now. Once you spot some sprouts and a few leaves, it’s time to water, but keep it gentle to prevent root rot. It’s a smart to put the stake next to the tuber at the same time of planting, so you don’t accidentally damage it later on.

That said, we reserve the right to refuse service, cancel orders, or void guarantees if a customer engages in disrespectful behavior.

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.

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.
