Learn how to pinch out dahlias for more blooms! Follow these simple steps for stronger stems and double the flowers.

Don't pinch your dahlias until they have 3 to 4 sets of leaves and are a foot tall.

Pinch anywhere above the third set of leaves.

Pinch or cut with shears the part of the stem with the newest leaves.

After a day or two the pinched area of the stem will callous over.

After a week or two with proper care you will begin to see new growth forming near the pinch.

Following this technique will allow your dahlias to grow to their full potential.

Prespout dahlias for about a month to ensure no dead tubers.
