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.
Care: Provide full sun and well-drained soil. In hotter areas some shade is preferred. Deadhead regularly. To overwinter tubers, dig them up after the first frost, clean them, and allow them to dry. Store in slightly moisted sand, peat, or sawdust and store in a cool but frost-free place.
