Blooming Beauties for Your Pollinator Garden: The Summer Bees Dahlia
Vibrant "Summer Bees" Dahlia Flower Attracts Pollinators and Retails for Under $30
Summer is fast approaching, and if you're dreaming of vibrant, colorful blooms, Walmart's Better Homes & Gardens section has got you covered. This year, don't forget the importance of pollinator-friendly plants in your garden design.
Bees and butterflies adore nectar-rich blossoms, and Walmart is introducing the Summer Bees Dahlia – an exclusive, must-have addition to your garden. This annual dahlia will be making its way to select Walmart locations soon, providing a stunning garden display from summer through fall.
Dahlias are marvelous, versatile blooms offering a myriad of petal shapes and colors. The unique, single-flowered Summer Bees Dahlia boasts fewer petals than double dahlias, making it even more alluring to our pollinating friends.
Plant the Summer Bees Dahlia in your pollinator garden bed or keep it container-bound for a splash of color on your patio. This plant could even overwinter in USDA zones 8-11, but it's sold as an annual. Wait until the soil is dry to the touch before watering.
The deep, captivating hot pink petals (attracting both bees and admirers) fade to a lighter pink, almost white hue at the edges. It will grow up to six inches tall and two feet wide, depending on its location. For the most blooms and optimal growth, place this plant in full sun, though it can survive in part shade as well.
Pollinator Magnets: Why Bees Love Them
While adding pollinator-friendly plants might seem like a hassle, remember that most bees are crucial pollinators and will leave you alone as they flit from bloom to bloom. The single, bicolor petals of the Summer Bees Dahlia attract bees with their highly visible golden yellow center that guides them directly to the pollen. Additionally, the center is wide enough for bees to rest easily.
The stunning Summer Bees Dahlia from Better Homes & Gardens comes in a 2.5-gallon pot (MSRP $27) and can be found at Walmart Garden Centers or online for home delivery. Remember that the exact colors may vary with online purchases. Secure a few for your garden while supplies last.
Though Martha Stewart's rose sold out, you'll still have the chance to grow it. So, get ready to liven up your garden with the Summer Bees Dahlia!
