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.

Inexpensive frame with real wood and real glass
Color: Natural Pine Wood, Size: 12x16
Pros: - This frame uses real glass, which feels more premium than the usual plastic in the price range - The mat was cut nicely - I got the pine variant. Pine can look coarse, but for the two frames I purchased, the wood was oriented so that the fine grain faces forward, so it looked more refined. Cons: - Mat is a little thin - I might be missing it, but it looks like dimensions for the mat cutout are not provided in the product description. In case you are wondering what the dimensions are, I measured my mat opening to be 8.4" x 11.5" (I got the 12x16 matted to 9x12). Note that the mat is an off-white color, almost an ivory white.

Nice frames. Not so much customer service.
I really like the frames. They are nice wood and quality glass. My only complaint is that I ordered 3 in walnut to go side by side on the wall over the couch. I received them one by one and the last one that came was not walnut finish. I was easily able to request a return of the last one but when I reached out to ask them if more frames would become available in walnut again, I got no response. As I needed 3 matching frames, I wasn’t sure what to do. I checked daily on Amazon to see if they were in stock and luckily they did come available about a week later. I ordered and received the last frame in walnut and all is good. But, it would have been nice to receive a reply from the company.
