How to Grow Prize-Winning DAHLIAS 
So easy. Plant these Stern’s Giants in any well-drained garden. 
Fertilize well. Starting in August, you will be rewarded with flowers of 
incomparable size and beauty. Only one flower makes a whole bouquet! 
Plants grow 5 to 6 feet tall, their brilliant colors are accented by lush 
green foliage. An ideal flower for cutting—they keep their beauty in the 
house for one full week or more! They last even longer when the cut 
flower is floated in a large bowl of water, a beauty similar to that of the 
Water Lily.
