How To Grow Dahlia From Seed: Using seedling modules or small pots, sow 2 Dahlia seeds in each cell/pot. When the seedlings establish, thin to leave only the strongest one in each cell/pot.

Transplant out to the garden when frost risk has passed. Dahlias are quick to flower, flowers can be produced as quickly as 12 weeks after planting.

In Autumn, after Dahlias are finished flowering, their rhizomes can be dug from the ground, stored over Winter, and planted again the following Spring. Divide the rhizomes to multiply the number of beautiful Dahlias in your garden.
