How to grow Alyssa
Alyssa is a MCO. Plant tubers 12–18 inches apart in full sun after the last frost. Pinch when plants reach 12 inches tall to encourage bushier growth and more blooms.
Harvest & vase life
MCO-form dahlias like Alyssa harvest dahlias when blooms are three-quarters to fully open. With clean cuts and fresh water, most varieties last 4–7 days in the vase.
