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 at ~12″ tall to encourage bushier growth and more bloom sites. Provide sturdy support—dinnerplates appreciate staking, and disbud for largest flowers. Water consistently (avoid waterlogging) and deadhead to extend the season. In cooler regions, lift tubers after frost, cure, and store in a cool, dry place for replanting next year.
