Dahlia Mixed - Seeds
A selection of mixed Dahlia seeds from my healthy and beautiful Dahlias in my garden.
Open pollinated, non GMO, no chemical treatments.
Enjoy a brand new variety as this is what happens when you grow a Dahlia from seed.
Preparation
Dahlia plants are best grown in full sun or part shade. Choose a location that will receive at least 3 hours of full sun each day.
Dahlia plants need a well drained soil enriched with plenty of organic matter. Prepare soil by weeding it thoroughly, digging it over to loosen it and adding aged animal manure or compost. Keep the area free of weeds until planting. Learn more about preparing soil for planting here.
Dahlia plants can be grown in containers. If possible choose a variety that’s recommended for container growing. Use a good quality potting mix and make sure your container is large enough for mature plants; a minimum of 40 litres is recommended for dahlias. During the growing season, keep in mind that container grown plants may need additional fertiliser to encourage healthy growth.
How to Sow Dahlia Seeds
Dahlia seeds do not require any treatment (eg soaking, stratification) before sowing.
Dahlia seeds can be sown directly into the garden OR seedlings can be raised in trays or other containers and transplanted to the garden once established.
Sow Direct
Sow seeds directly in the garden 10mm deep and 30-45cm apart.
Keep soil moist but never wet or dry.
Seeds should germinate in around 3-5 days at a soil temperature of 18-21°C.
Young seedlings will need protection from pests, pets and weather until they are established.
Raise Seedlings
Fill trays, punnets or jiffy pots with a good quality seed-raising mix, or use soil starter pellets.
