Sow 6mm (0.25in) deep late winter to early spring at 21-24C (70-75F) in a good seed compost. Keep soil damp but not wet, sealing in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful. Germination usually takes 7-10 days.

When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost 80cm (27in) apart in a sunny spot on any good moisture retentive soil.

  1. Another bumper show

    By Peter Humphrey 07-08-2012

    Despite the appalling weather these have come up trumps again along with the giant mixed hybrids and the coccinea mixed, they are a little behind in flowering but they are really giving a dazzling show. I hope we do not have early frosts this year emailed

  2. A Big Surprise

    By Peter Humphrey 23-06-2011

    I have never had a great success with dahlias.I thought let's give them a try.Seeds duly planted in potting medium,lo and behold all the seeds germinated.I grew them on under glass until the middle of May and then planted them in the borders.(the weather was very warm this year)I have had and still have a stunning display since the beginning of June.The way the plants are going I suspect they are going to be flowering well into late summer.The other pack of dahlia seeds bought at the same time are giving a stunning display too (unfortunately they seem to be no longer in stock)
