Dahlias are shipped as single tubers with a minimum of one eye guaranteed. If you're not planting right away, store in a cool, dry, dark place until you are.
Plant after the last spring frost, when the soil is around 15°C. Choose a sunny, well-draining spot enriched with compost and a general-purpose fertiliser.
Place the tuber with the eye/sprout facing up, about 8 cm deep. Cover, press down gently, and water once to settle. Wait for visible growth before watering again to avoid rot.
Go easy on water until shoots emerge.
Water deeply at the base once or twice a week when growing actively.
Feed every 3—4 weeks with a water-soluble fertiliser until March.
Stake taller varieties to keep stems upright.
Deadhead to keep blooms coming.
Cut flowers regularly — the more you cut, the more it blooms.
Store tubers after the season if necessary, or leave in the ground in frost-free areas.
