Plant outdoors from March onwards after all risk of frost has passed in any well cultivated garden soil with a good supply of organic material & in sunny sites away from strong winds. For early flowering they may be started off in boxes in April; use a light soil mixed with compost. Keep slightly moist cool & free from frost. When danger of frost has passed plant out. If used as a cut flower cut flowers only when completely developed.

Feed & water dahlias regularly throughout the growing season. While plants are still young pinch out the growing tip of each stem to encourage bushier growth & masses of flowers. As dahlias develop the taller varieties will require staking with garden canes to support their stems. Deadhead faded dahlia flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced.
