PLANTING REQUIREMENTS
 
Timing: Plant tubers in the spring after the last frost date.
Location: Choose a sunny site with well-draining soil.
Tubers: Plant tubers 4-6 inches deep, horizontally, with the eye facing upwards.
Spacing: Plant tubers 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper growth.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, watering deeply when needed.
Support: Provide stakes or supports at planting or soon after to prevent bending.
Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the dahlias to conserve moisture and control weeds.
Fertilizing: Use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer when new growth appears and throughout the growing season.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming.
Height: Expect the Gonzo Grape Dahlia to reach a certain height according to its specific growth characteristics.
