PLANTING NOTES

Planting season: Due to our cold winters, dahlia tubers must be planted in early spring in Quebec. You can dig up your tubers in the fall to use them again year after year by following our planting guide.

Planting: Planting is done once the risk of frost has passed. Tubers do not tolerate frost, so they must be stored indoors during the winter. Dahlias are heat-loving plants, so it is very important to place them in a sunny location and avoid overwatering them. It is recommended to refer to the instruction sheet that will be included with your order.* or consult our blog page here!
