Mixed Dahlia Pompon Flower Seeds for Planting – Heirloom & Non-GMO Summer Blooming Garden Variety

Planting and Growing Instructions:

1. When to Plant:

• Start indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date or sow directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.

• For tuber development, plant in early spring for summer flowering.

2. Seed Starting Indoors:

• Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix.

• Maintain soil temperature between 65–70°F (18–21°C).

• Provide bright light; germination takes 7–14 days.

3. Transplanting:

• Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors.

• Space plants 12–18 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil.

• Choose a location with full sun (6+ hours daily).

4. Care & Maintenance:

• Water deeply but allow the soil to dry slightly between watering.

• Fertilize every 3–4 weeks with a low-nitrogen flower fertilizer.

• Pinch early growth to promote bushiness.

• Deadhead regularly to extend blooming.

• Support tall plants to prevent flopping.

5. Seasonal Notes:

• In zones 8–11, tubers can overwinter in-ground.

• In colder zones, dig up tubers after the first frost and store them in a dry, cool place.
