PLANTING

Dahlias are grown for their gorgeous, colorful flowers that bloom from midsummer through autumn. They are stunning in patio containers or flower gardens and start blooming when most perennials begin to fade, offering fantastic late-season color.

Plant Babylon Red Dahlia in fertile, well-drained soil. Grow in full sun. Plant dahlia tubers outdoors after your last frost date. Pot up dahlia tubers 3-4 weeks before the last frost for earlier blooms. Plant tubers so the crown is at or just below the surface. For heavy clay soil amend with sand and compost for better drainage. They are considered a tender perennial, grown as an annual in zone 8 and below. You can simply dig up the tubers in the fall, store them for the winter, and replant them the following spring.
