Dahlia Seed Mix
Hand harvested seeds directly from the Flossy garden is a bee pollinators dream! An assortment of colors, shapes and sizes with open yellow/orange centers gives your garden that pop of sophistication and is the preferred flower choice for your bee friends. No two plants will be the same (pictured are a handful of parent plants)! Discover a variety you love, and save the tubers to be planted the following year.
Details:
Planting depth: ¼ in
Germination soil temp: 60°F–70°F
Days to germination: 5 to 12 days
Site: full sun
Plant spacing: 12 in
Pinch: when 12 in tall
Days to maturity: 100 to 120 days
Height: 48 to 72 in
Approximate seeds per packet: 25
How to Grow:
Sow seeds indoors in trays or pots 4 to 8 weeks before your last frost. Dahlias have a tendency to germinate sporadically, so be patient. Wait until the weather is consistently warm before transitioning young plants into the garden. Direct-seeding dahlias is not recommended.
Harvesting/Vase Life:
Dahlias don’t unfurl much once they’ve been harvested so it’s important to not pick them too early. Harvest when blooms are three-quarters of the way open, but not overly ripe ones. Place into water with hydrator or sear stem ends by placing into really hot water and allow to cool for one hour. Expect a vase life of 5 days.
