Growing Information

Dahlias thrive in a sunny position with well-drained soil. Plant after the risk of frost has passed and provide support for taller varieties if required. Regular picking encourages even more blooms throughout the season.

Please note

As with all living plants, each tuber is unique in size and shape. While every effort is made to ensure varieties are true to type, environmental conditions can influence flower colour and form. Photos are representative of mature blooms and may vary slightly depending on growing conditions.
