Ideal for GARDEN and CONTAINER PLANTING.
Dahlias are considered one of the most spectacular garden flowers. Dahlias need a sunny location to thrive, an area that receives at least 5 hours of direct sunlight is best. To promote a compact, bushy growing habit, with more flowers, pinch back the new growth when your dahlia is about a foot high. If your goal is to produce massive sized flowers, remove all of the side buds at the end of each branch throughout the growing season. For the finest cut flowers, cut them early in the day.
