Growing Guide

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your last frost, or direct sow outdoors after spring frosts have passed, as these dahlias are not frost hardy. Sow about 1/8 inch deep; seeds germinate in 7 to 14 days. Plants reach maturity in roughly 90 to 120 days, and the sturdy 3-foot stems benefit from staking once they start carrying their 5- to 6-inch blooms.

FAQ

What colors and flower shapes are in this mix?

The blooms have slightly curved petals in a vibrant medley, with a stellar range of alabaster, cherry, lemon chiffon, peach and pink. The heads reach 5 to 6 inches across, which makes the mix a perfect choice for landscaping or for cut flower use.

Do the plants need staking?

The plants are sturdy and about 3 feet tall, and they do benefit from staking. Space them 18 to 24 inches apart.

Will these dahlias come back each year?

In zones 8 to 10 they are perennial and return from their tubers. Anywhere colder, lift the tubers and overwinter them in frost-free conditions, then replant the following year. The plants want full sun, rich soil, warm temperatures and moderate moisture.
