Dahlia seeds are long and fairly large, with one pointed end and one rounded end. They are typically dark brown or black when dried.
Starting seeds indoors
Planting dahlia seeds is a fairly straightforward process. You'll want to start about six weeks before your last frost date to give your new plants enough time to grow large enough to flower in late summer.
Planting dahlias in the garden
Once your seedlings have put on a few inches of growth and the soil is warm, you can plant them outside. Choose a spot in the garden with full sun and excellent drainage.
How to plant
Dig a hole 2 ft wide and 2 ft deep to give your dahlia tuber room to reproduce.
Caring for dahlias
Stake the plants as the grow to keep them nice and straight.
