Dahlia Germination Information
How to Sow Dahlia: - For best results, sow indoors 4-6 weeks before planting outside, maintaining a temperature of 68-70° F
- Sow outdoors when danger of frost is past and cover the seeds with four times their thickness in soil
- Germination takes 5-10 days
- When sowing seed outdoors, we recommend a maximum planting depth of 4X the width of the seed
How to Grow Dahlia: Spacing: Space 1-3 feet apart in full sun in good, rich soil; water and fertilize frequently
Additional Care: After the tops have been blacken by frost, dig up the tubers and store them over winter in a bag full of peat moss in a cool place. Replant in spring when danger of frost is past

background plantings or for cut-flower arrangements. Floriferous plants, 1-3 feet tall and 1-2
feet wide, are deer-resistant and humidity-tolerant. From early summer till fall, rounded, 1- to 5-
inch blooms arise in white, pink, crimson, yellow-red, lilac-purple, and a wide range of color patterns.
