Dahlias are shipped as single tubers with a minimum of one eye guaranteed. If you’re not planting right away, store in a cool, dry, dark place until you are.
Planting Information:
Plant after the last spring frost, when the soil is around 15°C. Choose a sunny, well-draining spot enriched with compost and a general-purpose fertiliser.
Place the tuber with the eye/sprout facing up, about 8 cm deep. Cover, press down gently, and water once to settle. Wait for visible growth before watering again to avoid rot.
Tips for Growing Dahlias:
-
Go easy on water until shoots emerge.
-
Water deeply at the base once or twice a week when growing actively.
-
Feed every 3–4 weeks with a water-soluble fertiliser until March.
-
Stake taller varieties to keep stems upright.
-
Deadhead to keep blooms coming.
-
Cut flowers regularly — the more you cut, the more it blooms.
-
Store tubers after the season if necessary, or leave in the ground in frost-free areas.
