We love the selection of bulbs available from A.D.R. The variety is great, the quality is excellent and the price is fair. However, the best part of working with A.D.R is the customer service from Chris, Walter and all of the team. They go out of their way to make sure ours needs are met.

Dahlia Collarette 'Teesbrook Audrey' (Ships in Spring)
Dahlia
Dahlia ‘Teesbrooke Audrey’ is a graceful collarette dahlia adorned with soft blush-pink petals delicately washed with lavender tones. A collar of creamy white petaloids radiates around the warm golden-yellow center, giving each bloom an airy, luminous appearance. Flowers typically measure 3 to 4 inches across and are produced abundantly over a long season. Blooming from midsummer until frost, ‘Teesbrooke Audrey’ reaches approximately 36 to 48 inches in height and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Its open-centered flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, while the soft pastel coloring adds elegance to borders, cottage gardens, and cutting gardens.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Dahlia Collarette 'Teesbrook Audrey' (Ships in Spring)
Planting: In spring, plant tubers 3 to 4 inches deep with the eye facing up, once soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Space 18 to 24 inches apart to allow for airflow and mature spread.
Location: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) is essential for strong stems and vibrant blooms.
Soil: Well-drained, fertile loam with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or well-rotted manure before planting.
Watering: Water deeply 1–2 times per week, keeping soil evenly moist but not soggy. Mulch helps retain moisture and regulate temperature.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 8–10. In colder zones, lift tubers after frost and store in a cool, dry place.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) monthly or use a slow-release formula. Avoid high-nitrogen feeds.
Pruning: Pinch back when plants reach 12 inches tall to encourage bushiness. Deadhead regularly to prolong bloom.
Pest & Disease: Watch for aphids, slugs, and fungal issues. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
Propagation: Divide tubers in spring, ensuring each has at least one viable eye.
