PLANTING NOTES

Planting season: Due to cold winters, Dahlia tubers should be planted in early spring in Quebec. You can lift your tubers in the fall to use them year after year following our planting guide.

Planting: Plant once the risk of frost has passed. Tubers do not tolerate frost, so they must be stored indoors during winter. Dahlias love warmth, so it is very important to plant them in a sunny spot and avoid overwatering. Refer to the instruction sheet included with your order or visit our blog page here!
