Planting & Growing Guide
Dahlias thrive in full sun and well-draining soil. Plant tubers after all danger of frost has passed, approximately 4–6″ deep, spaced 12–18″ apart depending on variety size. Pinch young shoots at ~12″ tall to encourage bushier growth and richer bloom production. Provide solid support—though ‘BQ Pleasing’ maintains upright composure, staking ensures elegance through the season. Water consistently (avoid soggy soil) and deadhead diligently to extend flowering. In colder zones, lift tubers after the first frost, cure in a dry area, and store in a cool, dry place for replanting next spring.
