Dahlia Seeds - Homicide

Collected from our breeding program of 50-100 plants per variety grown in rows. This helps influence pollination by creating bee 'highways'.

Open pollinated dahlias grown from seed will appear in a range of colours, shapes and sizes but there is seed parent influence. We're excited to see what appears next season; it's definitely a fun surprise.

We saved more seed than we could ever hope to grow so have decided to share. Dahlias grown from seed are called 'seedlings' even when they're fully grown plants. Please let us know how your seedlings turn out!
