- Gently nestle the tubers in the soil with the eyes facing upward, burying them 15cm deep. Allow generous spacing to grant each bloom the space it needs to unfold its sultry beauty.
- Enrich your soil with organic matter, creating a fertile composition that complements the Arabian Night Dahlia's penchant for slightly acidic to neutral soil. Craft an environment where they can thrive.
- Maintain a harmonious balance of moisture, avoiding waterlogging. Consistent, deep watering during dry spells encourages the development of robust roots, ensuring a crescendo of blooms.

- Consider providing subtle staking to support the majestic height of these dahlias, ensuring they stand tall and proud in your summer garden.

When is the best time to plant Arabian Night Dahlias?
Plant tubers in the spring after the last frost date, allowing them to establish and bloom throughout the growing season. You can begin the tubers in small pots in a greenhouse from March to protect them from frosts and promote early growth.
How do I store Arabian Night Tubers for the next summer?
Lift the tubers after the first frost, cut back the stem to 15cm. Let the soil dry out which makes it easier to clean up the dahlia tube. Then store them in a cool, dry place, and replant in the spring for a renewed display of single dahlias.
