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.

It just gets better and better!
Format: Kindle
I like to read a book that takes no effort to read and that flows with the anointing. This is such a book. Each chapter has its own revelation and it is totally what I would love to read about. I am 45% through this book which is a lot further then I get with other books, even ones with great reviews. As a person who has seen in sprit, who has been to heaven, who has seen and interacted with angels, and seen and interacted with the Great Cloud of Witnesses, and written about these things, I find each chapter on these topics was very good and well supported with scriptures and stories. This is a very well written book. It is revelatory, insightful and well researched. Justin writes from personal experience much of the time and I get the idea that he is one remarkable person. I am very much looking forward to reading the rest of this book. I commend it to you Matthew Robert Payne Author of 18 books on Amazon

“HUMANITY IS AWAKENING.”
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This book is so full of the wonders of God; bringing the Word of God to life in a way I dreamed had to be true. Each page takes my breath away and I have to set it down to take it in. I love the design of the book, too. It’s so easy to read; simple yet so profound, filled with the joy of heaven that is here, among us and within us, attainable now. Soo good. Thank you, Justin.

PARADIGM SHIFT
Format: Kindle
This book is spectacular! I loved reading every chapter. It is filled with revelation that stretched my faith in "the new being" we are in Christ and our inheritance. When I now read..."Therefore, if any one is in UNION with Christ he is a NEW (“ KAINOS”) being (2 Cor 5: 17, TCNT)"...I read it from a new perspective. There are powerful testimonials shared in this extraordinary book by Justin Paul Abraham. Because of the NEW being we are in Christ, I'm truly and wholeheartedly beginning to believe we are limitless. I sincerely have a stronger spirit of expectancy now. I'm now committing to seeking God in a deeper way and waiting for the next paradigm shift of my walk with Him. I want the love of God that surpasses all knowledge and understanding to increase in my life so that He is revealed in and through me more and more - from glory to glory! Amen! Amen! and AMEN!
