Your Dahlia Planting Infographic Guide:
1 - Choose great quality dahlia tubers, whether dwarf or dinner plate dahlias, or any variety and size in between.
2 - Leave your dahlia tubers intact - do not cut dahlia tubers apart or into pieces.
3 - Plant your dahlia tubers in full sun, about 3-4 inches deep, and 12-24" between clumps, depending upon the mature size of the plants.
4 - Work bone meal into the soil to nourish your dahlia tubers and root structure.
5 - Add support structure for your dahlias at the time you plant the tubers.
6 - Topping and pinching your dahlias results in a shorter, fuller plant with more blooms!
