Planting instructions

Sowing & caring for dahlias

Sow seeds indoors in trays or pots 4 to 8 weeks before your last frost. Indoors, sow between February and April. Cover the seeds only lightly with soil. Dahlias have a tendency to germinate sporadically, so be patient. Wait until the weather is consistently warm before transitioning young plants into the garden (from around May/June). Direct-seeding dahlias is not recommended.

 

Harvesting dahlias & cutting for the vase

Prune flowers regularly. Dahlias hardly unfurl after the harvest, so it is important not to cut them too early, but when the flowers are three quarters open. The best time to cut them is in the morning. The vase life is about 7 days.
