Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Dahlia seeds do not require scarification. However, soaking them in warm water for 24 hours before planting can help speed up germination.

Sowing:

Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly into well-prepared garden beds after all danger of frost has passed.

Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for optimal germination.

Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.

Transplanting:

When seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and the soil has warmed to around 60°F (15°C), transplant them into their final location.

Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation.

Care and Maintenance:

Water dahlias regularly, providing about 1 inch of water per week, especially during dry periods.

Apply a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season to promote healthy foliage and abundant blooms.

Stake taller varieties to support the heavy blooms.

Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.

Pests and Diseases:

Watch for aphids, spider mites, and slugs, which can occasionally affect dahlias.

Use insecticidal soap or neem oil for pest control.

Provide good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases like powdery mildew.
