  • Soil requirements: Dahlia seeds prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
  • Sunlight needs: Dahlias thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. They can tolerate partial shade but may produce fewer flowers.
  • Watering requirements: Dahlias need regular watering, especially during dry periods. Water deeply once or twice a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
  • Planting season: The best time to plant dahlia seeds is in the spring, after the last frost has passed. In warmer climates, they can also be planted in early summer.
  • Depth and spacing: Plant dahlia seeds about 1/4 inch deep in the soil. Space the seeds or seedlings about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
  • Germination time: Dahlia seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days under optimal conditions. Maintain a consistent soil temperature of around 70°F (21°C) for best results.
  • Maturity time: Dahlias usually reach maturity and begin to bloom about 90 to 120 days after planting, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
  • Harvesting time: The best time to harvest dahlia flowers is in the early morning or late afternoon when the temperatures are cooler. This helps to preserve the freshness and longevity of the blooms.
  • Harvesting tips: Use sharp, clean scissors or pruning shears to cut the flowers. Make the cut just above a leaf node to encourage new growth. Store the cut flowers in a cool, dark place and change the water in the vase every couple of days to extend their vase life.
