How to plant Dahlia tubers
- Plant dahlias on free-draining, lighter soils, where they are more likely to survive the winter.
- Plant in a sunny or partially shaded location for best growth.
- Space about 60cm (2ft) apart and 10-15cm (4-6in) deep.
- As dahlias are tender, you’re best starting the tubers into growth in the greenhouse, then plant them in their flowering site after the frosty days are passed.
