🐝 Dahlias are often wrongly described as flowers that are not insect-friendly. However, as soon as the flowers open - even if they are densely filled - they release their stamens and are accessible to bees and other insects.
Flower happiness guarantee: You should enjoy your dahlias 100%. Sometimes nature does what it wants and that's actually quite nice, but not always in the interest of us gardeners. In rare cases, a tuber doesn't sprout. If that's the case for you, please contact me! We'll find a solution 💚
