Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Dahlia seeds do not require any special preparation before planting. However, soaking seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours can help soften the seed coat and promote germination.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Use a seed-starting mix and plant seeds 1/8 inch deep.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period, which usually takes 7-14 days.

Germination:

Maintain a constant temperature of around 70°F (21°C) for optimal germination.
Provide adequate light for seedlings by placing them under grow lights or in a sunny window.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date, once the soil has warmed and all danger of frost has passed.
Space plants according to the mature size of the variety, typically 12-18 inches apart.
Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil for optimal growth.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water dahlias deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods. However, avoid overwatering as it can cause rot.
Support: Provide support for tall varieties by staking or using plant supports to prevent them from flopping over.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
