Try your hand at growing cocoxochitl from seed!

Native to Mexico, Aztecs bred dahlias (which they call cocoxochitl or acocotli) for their edible tubers. At Truelove Seeds, we grow them primarily as cut flowers for our florist friends, though we also conduct regular taste tests to find better tasting specimens. Most people start them from saved and divided tubers and crowns, which nearly guarantees you'll get the same variety again that you started with, as this is a form of cloning. 

Dahlias are EXTREMELY variable when grown from seed! Often, it can take a couple years for you to get your first bloom when starting dahlia seedlings. We tend to get blooms in the first year by feeding them delicious compost and plenty of water. Try your hand at growing the seeds! You may find a beautiful new bloom and/or a large delicious tuber. The main photo on this page shows nine of the seedling dahlias from this year. The other photos are another 18 of the countless parent lines providing seeds for these packages. On social media, please tag #cocoxochitlchingonxs to show us your new dahlia divas when they bloom! Enjoy!

A note on the name, which was born from a lively naming contest on Instagram: cocoxochitl (pronounced "coco-so-cheel") is the original Aztec name for the dahlia, and chingonxs ("chin-gōn-ex-es") is a gender neutral plural term for someone that is very good at something, or freakin' bad-ass, if you will. This part of the name was suggested by Edgar Xochitl, a Chicanx farmer in California focused on queer ecology and decolonizing flowers. Edgar suggests the gender neutral chingonxs because "anyone regardless of gender can be a diva". The second part seems self explanatory. It was inspired by a suggestion by Antonio Amorcito, Mestizx Latinx flower-lover of Washington DC. Angela McGiles, farmer in the Hill Country of Texas shaped it to say "A Dahlia Diva Mix". She suggests that as you find new varieties from your packets, you name each one after a diva. That's up to you! We are going to take the suggestion to heart at Truelove Seeds.

Days to mature tubers: 150

Seeds per pack: 40

Germination rate: 94% on 03/20/2025

Planting / harvesting notes

Start the seeds in a moist potting soil mix, lightly cover them, and keep them moderately moist and warm. Germination should take 7-12 days. When the starts are about an inch tall, pot them up into 3" pots. Transplant them in the garden when they have filled in their pots and after the last danger of frost. Space plants in garden by 18-24". Trellis or stake as the plant grows tall. After the first frost in the fall, cut back the plant to 1-3" above the base of the plant. Lift the tubers carefully and gently (they can spread up to 12" in each direction under the soil). Gently shake off the soil and allow to cure in a cool, ventilated place for a week or so. Cut off broken-necked tubers and small root hairs. We simply store ours in a labeled paper bag, within a cardboard box in a cool, dry basement until spring!

Seed keeping notes

Allow the flowers to die back until brown and crispy. Cut the seed pod (spent flower) at the base and allow it to dry in a dry, ventilated place for another couple weeks. Separate the elongated, plump, black seeds from the papery spent flowers petals. Allow the seeds to dry on a paper towel, sheet, or paper bag in a dry, ventilated place for another week or two before storage.

Comfortable, Simple, Reliable
Size: Tenkeyless, Pattern Name: Keyboard, Size: Tenkeyless, Pattern Name: Keyboard
This is a phenomenal product, and exactly what I wanted. I used to have wrist pain while gaming; I bought this, and then completely forgot that I used to get wrist pain while gaming. The foam is firm, but comfortable; it’s very supportive, but also flat and consistent. It’s cool, so my wrist never gets sweaty or hot just from using the wrist rest. Its rubberized bottom prevents it from moving at all while gaming. I’ve used it for about a year, and the foam has no indentation at all; in fact, there’s not noticeable wear of any kind. My one complaint, that I’ve seen in other reviews as well, is that the fabric skin of the wrist rest isn’t quite fit over the foam: there’s some extra material, and it can wrinkle slightly. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the product! It’s completely eliminated my wrist pain, and I’ve gotten a year of use out of it with no problems so far. I’d say that’s more than worth the fair price, and I would buy it again without hesitation!

Very High Quality Memory Gel Foam
Size: Mouse, Pattern Name: Mouse
Firmness is pretty solid, this material is high quality. This isn't that kind of foam that will start loosing it's shape after a year or two, this is a firm gel like substance and it's pretty comfortable. The color is black as I expected, it's shape is rectangle just like in the pictures, it's appearance is as described. The only think is that they do use a polyester cover, which does appear as though it may wrinkle over time, and it will likely not outlast the Gel Foam inside. Like I said though the Gel Foam is legit Gel Foam, I have heard these claims before only to find out that it's something far cheaper, that's not this.

Awesome
Size: Full Size, Pattern Name: Keyboard, Size: Full Size, Pattern Name: Keyboard
If you spend more than a few hours a day at your keyboard, stop what you’re doing and buy this wrist rest immediately. I was starting to feel serious strain after long typing sessions, and this simple accessory has completely eliminated the discomfort. It’s a true game changer for desk ergonomics. The material quality is phenomenal. The memory foam (or gel) is perfectly supportive—it’s soft enough to cushion my wrists but firm enough that it doesn't flatten out or lose its shape, even after weeks of heavy use. The non-slip base is also fantastic, keeping it anchored exactly where I need it, no matter how intense my typing or gaming gets. What I appreciate most is the immediate relief. The height and angle are spot on, positioning my hands and wrists in a neutral, comfortable alignment. The reduction in pressure on my carpal tunnel area was noticeable within minutes. I can now work for extended periods without the usual aches or stiffness. This is a simple, high-impact product that vastly improves quality of life at the computer. It’s durable, comfortable, and absolutely essential for wrist health. Worth every penny for the long-term comfort it provides!

Pair with HyperX Keyboard Rest to complete the look!
Size: Mouse, Pattern Name: Mouse
Soft, comfortable, doesn't slide around, even on my XL mouse pad. Cool to touch which is nice. After a year of use, fabric on top becomes slightly loose and bunches up when moving wrist around.
