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 shoots at around 12″ tall to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Support taller stems as needed. Water consistently—avoid soggy soil—and deadhead regularly to prolong the bloom season. In cooler regions, lift tubers after frost, cure them, and store in a cool, dry place for replanting the following spring.
