Planting Guide

• When to Plant: In spring after the last frost, once soil is at least 60°F.
• Where to Plant: Full sun (6+ hours daily) with well-draining soil.
• Depth & Spacing: Plant tubers 1–2 inches deep, 1.5–2 feet apart, with the “eye” facing up.
• Watering: Water after planting, then wait until sprouts appear before watering again.

Ongoing Care

• Watering: Deep water 1–2 times weekly at the base of the plant. Keep soil moist but not soggy.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a low-nitrogen blend (like 10-20-20) every 3–4 weeks.
• Support: Stake taller plants so stems don’t snap under flower weight.
• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to keep flowers coming.
• Winter Care: In cold regions, dig up tubers after frost. Dry and store in a cool, dark place.

Growing in Containers

La Luna Dahlias thrive in pots, making them ideal for patios and balconies. Choose a container at least 12–16 inches wide and deep with drainage holes. Use a high-quality potting mix and place your container where it gets plenty of sun. You can even move pots around to follow the light for maximum flowers.
