Special Features
 

Plant tuberous roots in spring, about four inches deep. Space at least one foot (30 cm) apart, more for large, spreading varieties. Dinnerplate Dahlias Bulbs are extremely frost-sensitive, and must be dug and stored over winter.


Features of Genus:
  Dahlias belong to the most popular plants because of their long flowering period and splendid flowers. Interestingly enough, this widely cultivated flower, with its many species, cultivars and varieties, had to be discovered twice. The first description was written in 1615 in a series of books about animals and plants from "New Spain" (modern day Mexico), where the Aztecs cultivated them as ornamental garden plants. Yet it wasn't until 1789 that the director of the Royal Gardens in Madrid received some seeds from the Spanish director of the Botanical Garden in Mexico. Two years later, he described a half double, purple variety and named it after a Swedish botanist, Andreas Dahl. Many experiments followed and many species and cultivars were developed, giving Dahlias the popularity and wide spread admiration they enjoy today.

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 Kelvin Floodlight Dinnerplate Dahlia should be planted roughly 1-2" deep and 18-24" 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 Kelvin Floodlight Dinnerplate Dahlia?
  Dahlia Bulbs are normally planted spring, and most Kelvin Floodlight Dinnerplate Dahlia will begin to flower sometime in summer.
