About This Variety

Meet This Variety

For a home planting planned around early root development, Dahlia (Dahlia spp.) fits a seed-grown planting in garden borders and beds. Establish it in full sun with moderately fertile, well-drained soil for a balanced start.

For the first stage of planting, Sow in prepared growing medium when it reaches the recommended germination range. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged while seedlings establish, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy, with a reliable routine focused on new seedling care after sowing.

A practical Dahlia choice for borders & beds.
