No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Plant dahlia tubers outdoors in late spring when soil temperatures have reached 60 degrees Fahrenheit, timing around your area's last frost date. Space tubers 12 inches apart, with 24 inches between rows. Frost will kill the plants, so wait until danger of frost has passed before planting.
Deadhead spent blooms regularly throughout the season to encourage continuous flower production and maintain the plant's prolific blooming habit. Remove any dead or diseased foliage as needed to keep air circulation strong around the 4-foot tall stems.
