Care
Dahlias are generally low-maintenance. They do best in well-draining soil and prefer full sun for optimal growth and flowering. Tubers can be planted outside after the last frost. Nourish with a balanced fertilizer once the plants are established.

Throughout the growing season, provide support for tall varieties, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Harvest blossoms when buds are 3/4 open.
