GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
Transplanting is recommended. Sow 4-5 weeks before last frost. Cover seed with growing medium and keep soil surface moist until emergence. When seedlings have true leaves, transplant into larger cell packs. To maintain healthy seedlings, do not allow plants to become root bound and do not disturb roots.
Direct seed after last frost. Sow thinly, 2 seeds/ft, 1/4" deep. Cover lightly but firmly. Keep surface moist until emergence. Thin to 9-12" after first true leaves appear.
Plant Spacing: 9-12"
Seeds per packet: Approx 25
** Plants will grow into tubers that can then be saved and planted the following year. After plants die back in the Fall, cut off dead stalks and carefully dig up the tubers. Knock off any excess dirt on the tubers and allow them to fully dry out for a few days in a shaded spot with lots of airflow. Tubers can then be stored in crates in a cool, dark, well-ventilated area over the Winter like a basement. Tubers can be planted out the next Spring or Summer. We plant our dahlias in June for Fall blooms.
*Dahlias are mildly toxic to cats and dogs and is something to consider if you have a curious pet. Can cause mild gastrointestinal issues and mild dermatitis. Non-toxic to humans.
