How to Plant Dahlia Bulbs?
To plant Dahlia Bulbs the bulbs should be planted with the nose of the bulb upward (or the roots facing downwards) and the Bora Bora Cactus Dahlia should be planted roughly 1-2" deep and 12-18" apart from one another.
Note: For some bulbs you may not be able to tell which way is up or down, in these cases just plant them on their side and they will adjust on their own.
When to Plant Bora Bora Cactus Dahlia?
Dahlia Bulbs are normally planted spring, and most Bora Bora Cactus Dahlia will begin to flower sometime in summer.
