About Thomas Edison Dahlia (Dinnerplate)

Thomas Edison, introduced over 70 years ago, remains one of the best purple Decorative Dinnerplate Dahlias on the market. Honoring the legendary inventor, this variety showcases an electrifying hue, making a bold statement in any garden. The fully-double blossoms, spanning 8-inches (20 cm) across, feature softly quilled petals in a deep purple that intensifies towards the center, boasting the deepest purple shade amongst dahlias—a colour that simply cannot be captured in photographs.

With almost continuous blooms through first frost, all the while attracting butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators, these dahlias will add a burst of life to your late-summer gardens and fresh-cut bouquets. Thomas Edison especially looks amazing with bright red and orange flowers.

How to Grow Dahlia

Planting Dahlia

  • Plant in spring after the last frost.
  • If you cannot plant your bulbs and perennials right away, store them in a cool, dry, darklocation, like a basement.
  • Plant the Dahlia with the crown 5 cm (2 in) below the soil surface and 50 to 60 cm (20 to 24 in) apart.
  • Water thoroughly after planting.

Growing Dahlia

  • Pinch shoot tips twice to encourage fullness, first after 2 or 3 sets of leaves have developed, and again after a few weeks.
  • These bulbs like a lot of water.
  • Dahlias love to be fed. Fertilize your Dahlia regularly.

Dahlia Care

  • Dahlias will bloom the entire summer.
  • Remove all spent flowers with clippers to boost further flower production. The more you cut, the more they bloom.
  • Stake taller varieties.
  • After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.

Winterizing Dahlia

  • These bulbs are not winter hardy and need to be dug up after the first frost.
  • Do not wash but dry the bulbs for a day.
  • Store away from drafts at 5 °C to 10 °C (40 °F to 50 °F) in a paper bag or box filled with peat moss or vermiculite.
