Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from March to April, filling seed trays or pots with fine seed compost. Scatter the seeds thinly on the surface and lightly cover with compost. Maintain a temperature of 18-21°C, and keep the soil moist until germination.

 

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and harden them off before planting outdoors after the last frost. Space plants 30 cm apart in a sunny location.

 

For outdoor sowing, wait until after the last frost has passed and directly sow the seeds into prepared soil, covering with a light layer of soil. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for proper growth.

 

Dahlia Collarette Dandy Mixed is a fantastic choice for adding flair to your garden with their cheerful, unique blooms and a long-lasting display of vibrant colours.
