Planting & Growing Guide

Dahlias thrive in full sun and well-draining soil. Plant tubers after all danger of frost has passed, 4–6″ deep and spaced 12–18″ apart depending on variety size. Pinch young plants at ~12″ tall to encourage bushy growth and more blooms. Support taller varieties—‘BQ Clear Delight’ may reach ~5 ft—so sturdy staking is wise. Water consistently (avoid soggy soil) and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. In cooler zones, lift tubers after frost, cure them in a dry place, and store in a cool, dry spot for replanting next season.
