Planting depth: 4-6 in
Plant spacing: 12-18 in
Pinch: 12 inches
Days to maturity: 80-100 days
Planting: plant once soil has warmed up in late spring. Plant at a depth of 4 to 6 inches. Dahlias need space to develop, plant 12 to 18 inches apart. Do not water until leaves have emerged from the ground. Pinch plants once they've reached 12 inches tall to encourage branching and more blooms. Fertilize regularly throughout the season.
Harvesting: cut when blooms are almost fully open, about 3/4 of the way and before petals at the back become papery. Cut deep to encourage taller stems. Dahlias have a vase life of 5 days with daily water change and when kept away from sunlight.
Every dahlia purchase comes with a detailed care & planting instruction card from our farm.
