Supplied As: 5 x tubers ready for potting-up or planting out once all risk of frost has passed. Caring for Your Dahlias Dahlias are tender tubers and do best when potted up initially in March or early April, into large pots (2 - 3L) filled with multi-purpose compost. Placed in a light, frost-free place and kept moist, they'll quickly form bushy plants by the time the frosts have ended, ready to be planted out into the garden. In the garden, dig a hole at least 30cm wide x 30cm deep for each one, spacing each tuber 75cm apart. If you dont have anywhere to start them in pots, you can put the tubers straight into the ground when the frosts are nearly over. Once a fortnight, feed them with a liquid feed such as our Blooming Fast Superior plant feed. During dry periods, water at least once a week. Dahlias should be deadheaded regularly to encourage more blooms and you will need to stake the plants to prevent the flowers from breaking the stems. Contents 5 x Tubers back to top
