Dahlia--Bedding Dahlia

Height: 24 in   Spacing: 18 in                              
Type: annual                                                
Flowers: Orange, pink, red, yellow, white                   

Comments: Bedding Dahlias are usually started from seed     
each spring.  They are smaller than many of the dahlias     
that are sold and started as tubers.  Provide a sunny       
growing area.  Remove spent blossoms to promote additional  
flowering.  At the end of the growing season, the tubers    
can be dug and then stored through winter.                  

Propagation: Propagate by seed, tubers or cuttings.  The    
seed should be started early indoors.
