Care:

• Dahlias are tender tubers and do best when potted up initially in March or early April, into large pots (2 - 3L) filled with multi-purpose compost.
• Placed in a light, frost-free place and kept moist, they'll quickly form bushy plants by the time the frosts have ended, ready to be planted out into the garden.
• In the garden, dig a hole at least 30cm wide x 30cm deep for each one, spacing each tuber 75cm apart.
• If you don’t have anywhere to start them in pots, you can put the tubers straight into the ground when the frosts are nearly over.
• Once a fortnight, feed them with a liquid feed such as our Blooming Fast Superior plant feed.
• During dry periods, water at least once a week.
• Dahlias should be deadheaded regularly to encourage more blooms and you will need to stake the plants to prevent the flowers from breaking the stems.
