April Heather

April Heather brings a light, cheerful presence to the garden, with blooms in soft shades of cream, blush, and pale yellow. The delicate collar at her center gives each flower a gentle structure, while her height allows her to rise easily above surrounding plantings.

She is not grown for cutting, but for the way she fills a space. Prolific and pollinator-friendly, April Heather offers a steady rhythm of blooms throughout the season and becomes a quiet constant in the garden.

Shipping information

Tubers ship in spring once weather conditions are appropriate for safe transit and planting preparation. Orders may ship in batches based on region and seasonal timing.

Please note that if your order includes multiple varieties, all tubers may ship together.

Growing notes

Dahlias thrive in full sun, fertile well-draining soil, and consistent watering once established. For best results, plant after danger of frost has passed and soil has begun to warm.

April Heather is a vigorous and prolific grower, producing a steady supply of blooms throughout the season. Its tall stature benefits from support, especially in open or windy locations. While not typically used for cut flower production, it excels as a garden performer and pollinator favorite.
