How to Treat the Dahlia Plant
Start treating your plants by selecting the perfect location. The plant hates drafts but requires a well-ventilated and well-lit place. Dahlias need to be planted in a well-lit site, hidden from the winds. The soil has to be well-drained, permeable and fertilized. To keep the plants safe from illness and degenerating, we recommend changing their location in your garden at least once every two years. This allows the soil to rest for three years.
How to Prepare Dahlia Bulbs for Planting
We encourage you to prepare for planting dahlia bulbs (tubers) in April:
- Get rid of any dry roots and damaged areas.
- Plant the tubers in a pot with fertilized soil and store them in a well-lit place at 18 °C for several weeks.
- As soon as the buds appear, the tubers can be cut into pieces so each has a bud.
- Germinate the roots in the box, and plant them in the soil.
You can buy cheap dahlia tubers in spring and plant them in the ground in late May or early July. The holes for the plants should be three times larger than the bulbs. At the bottom of the hole, use a layer of rotted compost. Put the sprouted tuber there and dig so that a few centimetres of the stem is underground. Water the plants generously with cold water, and mulch the surrounding soil.

Frequently asked questions about Spring Flowering Dahlias
When to Plant Dahlias Tubers?
Dahlias are not winter-hardy and cannot tolerate frost. Plant them outdoors after the last spring night frost, depending on the region where you live. In fall, dig up and bring tubers inside before the first fall night frost.
How to Plant Dahlias Tubers?
Planting Dahlia is a piece of cake. The perfect time is in spring when there is no chance of frost. Just follow these four steps.
Step 1
Choose a sunny spot in the garden where the Dahlia can shine. Some Dahlias grow to a height of 2 metres, others 30 cm. Please give them a place where the length of the Dahlia can easily stand out from the rest of the planting.
Step 2
Rake the soil well to make it nice and airy. Remove weeds and small stones at the same time so that the Dahlia feels entirely at home.
Step 3
Dig a hole in which the Dahlia bulb will fit comfortably. Place the Dahlia in the hole with the piece of the old stalk facing upwards. Cover the Dahlia with the dug soil. Make sure the hole is not too deep because Dahlias like to feel the warmth of the sun. They only need to be planted a few centimetres below the surface; the crown under the old flower stem may even be visible.
Step 4
Pour a generous splash of water over the planted Dahlia. This ensures that the tuber quickly starts to take root.
When do Dahlias Flowers Bloom?
Dahlias start blooming about 6-8 weeks after planting, usually at the beginning of July. The flowering lasts until October or even November in milder climates. Its blooming season lasts for 12-15 weeks.
How to Store and Overwinter Dahlia Tubers?
Remove the bulbs from the ground carefully and store them in a well-ventilated container at around 6-8 degrees. Make sure to check the bulbs throughout the winter.
How to care for Dahlias?
As soon as the dahlia bulb feels the warmth of the sun, it starts to grow. The first shoots appear after a few weeks. After about four to six weeks, depending on the type of bulb, the first flowers are visible. Water the plant when it is very dry. Also cut away the spent flowers, then the plant will produce new ones. Are the flowers drooping due to rain or wind? Support them with a stick, with string or with special rings for tall dahlias.
