Growing Guide

When to Grow

Start Dahlia Unwins Mix indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors after spring frosts have passed. Sow about 1/8 inch deep; seeds germinate in 7 to 14 days at 70 to 75 F, and plants reach maturity roughly 70 to 80 days from sowing. These dahlias are tender perennials and are not frost hardy. Tubers may be overwintered in frost-free conditions and replanted the following year.
