-
When to plant: Plant after danger of frost and when the soil temp is around 60 degrees. That ranges from mid April to late May, depending on how cold it is where you live. A good rule of thumb is to plant Dahlias when you plant tomatoes!
-
Where to plant: Plant Dahlias in full sun 6" deep and 12" apart. You can also grow Dahlias in containers! They like a rich, well-draining soil, much like your veggies. They need plenty of room to grow, so choose a pot at least 12-18 inches in diameter if you're growing in a pot.
-
How to water: Do not water until you see the leaves poking out of the soil! If you water before then, the tubers will rot. Once you see leaves, water deeply and infrequently. They don't like wet feet and infrequent, deep watering will encourage them to grow deep roots.
-
What and when to feed: Dahlias will benefit from an organic slow release fertilizer. Incorporate into the soil when planting or topdress once there are 2-3 sets of leaves.
- When and why to pinch: If you'd like more side shoots and a stronger plant, pinch the top growing bud when the plant is about 10 inches tall. Otherwise, you can cut the first flower once it blooms, but cut it about halfway down the plant to stimulate side branching.
*Dahlia tubers ship separately from CobraHead products. They're sent straight from the farm for $9.99 flat rate shipping per order. Contiguous US delivery only.
