Top Tip
Cutting the flowers regularly encourages Dahlias to keep producing fresh blooms, giving you a longer and more abundant display. Taking stems for the vase also helps redirect the plant’s energy into new growth, so you enjoy even richer colour throughout the season.
How to Water
Dahlias appreciate steady moisture, so aim to keep the soil consistently damp without letting it become waterlogged. Deep watering once or twice a week is usually enough to help the tubers develop strong roots.
How to Plant
Plant Dahlia tubers in spring once the soil has warmed, placing them around 10-15cm deep with the growing points facing upward. Give each bulb plenty of space so the plant can develop strong stems and a full display of blooms. Water well after planting to help them settle in.
