Dahlias are much-loved blooms that burst into colour in summer and autumn. They are perfect for pots and garden beds and make beautiful cut flowers.

It’s best to sow dahlia seeds in spring after the danger of frost has passed. In tropical or subtropical areas, you can start in late winter. Dahlia’s love the sun and grow best in rich, moist and well-drained soil, so pick a spot that receives sun for most of the day, and before sowing your dahlia seeds, enrich the soil with rich compost. If you have clay-like soil, it’s best to grow dahlias in raised garden beds or pots.

When sowing dahlia seeds, sprinkle them over the top of the soil and then lightly cover with additional soil. Gently water the seeds and continue to water them lightly ensuring the soil is always damp but not soaking wet. The seeds should germinate within 7 to 10 days.

Dahlia Variety: Dahlia pinnata
