World Series Collection - Sir Richard (Read Description)

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.

Sir Richard Dahlia

Bring this one back to the U.S.! Bold, richly colored blooms, beautifully arranged petals, and a whole lot of personality! Sir Richard Dahlia is a gorgeous variety with full, symmetrical flowers and neatly layered petals that create a classic, beautifully rounded shape. Its rich coloring and perfectly arranged petals make this dahlia a standout in the garden and an eye catching addition to fresh flower arrangements.

With blooms reaching approximately 2.8 inches across, Sir Richard proves that you don't need giant flowers to make a big impression. Growing to approximately 4.5 feet tall, this variety produces flowers on strong stems that make it a wonderful choice for cutting gardens and bouquets. Its tidy, structured blooms bring beautiful texture and a polished look to arrangements, while its bold color adds plenty of personality.

Sir Richard is a lovely choice for gardeners who appreciate beautifully formed blooms and dahlias that look just as good in a vase as they do in the garden. Whether you're mixing it into colorful bouquets or giving it a starring role in your flower beds, this little beauty knows how to command attention. After all, with a name like Sir Richard, would you expect anything less?

What Makes World Series Dahlias Different

• Imported, not yet field-tested here
  These dahlias come from overseas sources and have not yet been bloom-confirmed in our own fields. You’re getting in on the excitement early, before they’re widely available.

• Single division tubers – not pot clumps
  You’ll receive one single division tuber, hand-selected rather than a rough, pot-grown clump. This gives you a cleaner start and makes it easier to inspect and plant.

• Hand-inspected for 6 weeks
  Tubers are isolated and monitored for at least 6 weeks prior to shipping. During this time, they are hand-inspected for signs of crown gall or other obvious issues.

• Covered by our plant satisfaction guarantee
  While we cannot promise these tubers are completely disease-free, all parts of our plant satisfaction guarantee apply to the World Series collection.

• Not bloom-confirmed – small chance of mislabel
  Because these have not been grown and verified in our own fields, there is a chance of mislabel. By purchasing from this collection, you agree that you’re comfortable with that risk in exchange for a discounted “unicorn” dahlia that may be hard to find elsewhere.
