Know before you buy
You should plant your tubers outdoors once the danger of frost has passed in your area. Aim to get them in the ground around your local last frost date.
If you live in USDA hardiness zones 8 through 11, you can leave them in the ground. In colder climates, you must dig up the tubers after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place for the winter.
Space each tuber 18 inches apart to ensure adequate airflow. If you are planting in rows, maintain a distance of 24 to 36 inches between them.
This variety thrives in full sun. For the best bloom production, ensure the plants receive at least 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Yes, their classic form and 4-5 inch blooms make them excellent for cut flowers. They are specifically noted for their vibrant color and ability to add significant impact to bouquets.
Dahlias perform best in well-drained, fertile soil that is slightly acidic. Ensure your planting site does not stay waterlogged, as this can cause the tubers to rot.
