Alpen Cherub is an exceptionally prolific dahlia with delicate blooms that pollinators absolutely adore. In my garden, it was a particular favourite among the bees, attracting more attention than any other variety I grew. It’s petals are fragile and don't hold up especially well after cutting, so I recommend this one for enjoying in the garden, where its abundance of flowers and appeal to pollinators can really shine.

Please note that this purchase is for the entire plants worth of tubers. Which means a box of potato looking objects - not flowers! A single tuber sold in the spring is typically valued between $8 - $12 each. A plants worth of tubers can range between 3-10 tubers. This is a great saving! The only catch is that you have to over-winter the tubers yourself.
