Planting & Growing Guide

Dahlias thrive in full sun and well-draining soil. Plant tubers after all danger of frost has passed, 4–6″ deep, spaced 12–18″ apart based on mature size. Pinch young growth when the plant reaches ~12″ tall to encourage bushy form and a wealth of blooms. Provide support for taller varieties to keep blooms upright. Water consistently—avoid soggy soil—and deadhead to extend the flowering period. In colder climates, lift tubers after the first frost, cure in a dry place, and store in a cool, dry location for replanting next season.
