Product information
DAHLIA EARLY BIRD MIX – DAHLIA VARIABLIS
Dahlia “Early Bird” is a fiery mix of such striking colour, yet with such innocent flower faces. Mid-height with green foliage, it blends extremely well into borders.
Growing to around 50cm and early to flower they are spectacular in bedding and containers and as a cut flower. However, be warned that a colour eruption may occur!

Dahlias are straightforward to produce from seed they will flower twelve weeks from sowing until first frosts. Seed-raised Dahlias flower well especially towards the autumn, after which the tops will die off. They are generally treated as annuals though they produce a tuber to survive the winter, which can be dug up, stored and replanted the following year.
Sow in spring for flowers 12 weeks from sowing. Sow in seedling trays (see our Plastic Seedling Trays) and cover the trays with clear or milky polythene to maintain humidity, until the first seedlings are visible. Keep moist at all times.
Germination takes around 7 days at 18 to 20°C Once germination takes place, remove the cover and keep the seedlings moist.As soon as the plants are large enough to handle, usually at around three weeks, prick out into 7cm pots to grow on. Harden off and plant outdoors 30 to 45cm apart.
