Growing Guide

When to Grow

Start seed indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your last frost, or direct sow outdoors after spring frosts have passed — these dahlias are not frost hardy. Sow shallowly, about 1/8 inch deep, and expect seedlings in 7 to 14 days. Plants need full sun, rich soil, warm temperatures around 70 to 75 F and moderate moisture, maturing in about 100 to 120 days. Tubers may be overwintered in frost-free conditions and replanted the following year.

What gardeners are saying

  • Easy from seed: Germinates well indoors and blooms the first summer.

  • Early bloomer: Often the first dahlia to flower; June blooms from a March start.

  • Nonstop color: Lemon, orange, pink and magenta singles; deadhead for more.

  • Makes tubers: Plants form tubers in the first year, even as seedlings.
