Planting Guide
Plant in humus rich fertile well drained soil in full sun, Dahlias like a high nitrogen fertilizer weekly in the early part of summer, as the flowers appear change to a high potash fertilizer this will help maintain good flower production, as the flowers fade remove to prolong the flowering period, it is also important to pinch out the Dahlias from the growing point, this will produce a more bushy plant.
Allow the frost to turn the foliage black, and then cut back to around 15 cm, lift the tubers remove excess soil and place upside down on a suitable surface, in frost free conditions and allow to dry naturally. You can dust with a fungicide when dry then place the dry tubers in boxes of either dry sand or peat to over winter you will need to check occasionally for fungal infection and cut out any damaged tissue the retreat with fungicide. In warm areas you can leave Dahlias in the ground over winter, plant to a depth of around 15-20 cm and provide deep winter mulch. You can start the dahlias off before planting outside in shallow boxes of peat or sand.
