How to Plant Dinnerplate Dahlia Seeds

Planting Season:

• Best Time to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly sow them outdoors after the risk of frost has passed, typically in late spring.

Seed Preparation:

• No Special Treatment Needed: Dinnerplate Dahlia seeds typically do not require any special treatment. However, germinating them indoors for a head start is recommended for best results.

Planting Instructions:

• Depth: Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in well-draining soil.
• Spacing: Space seeds 18-24 inches apart to allow for the plant’s large size and to provide room for air circulation.
• Light Requirements: These dahlias thrive in full sun, so choose a sunny location that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.

Water and Care

Watering Needs:

• Keep the soil moist until seeds germinate. Once the plants are established, water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid over-watering as dahlias do not like waterlogged soil.

Fertilizer:

• Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time and throughout the growing season to encourage strong growth and vibrant blooms. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they may lead to excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.

Pruning:

• Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Pinch back the growing tips early in the season to encourage bushier growth and more flowers.
• In late fall, after the frost has killed the plants, cut back the stems and store the tubers in a cool, dry place for winter storage (for tuber-based varieties).

Hardiness Zones:

• Dinnerplate Dahlias are best suited for USDA zones 8-10, but can be grown as annuals in colder climates or overwintered indoors by digging up the tubers.
