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 and spaced 12–18″ apart depending on variety size. Pinch young shoots at ~12″ tall to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. While compact, this variety benefits from support to keep the blooms elevated and elegant. Water consistently (avoid soggy soil) and deadhead regularly to extend the flowering season. In cooler climates, lift tubers after the first frost, cure them in a dry place, and store in a cool, dry spot for planting next year.
