Dahlias should not be planted outdoors until there’s no danger of frost. If you garden in the northern half of the country, consider starting your dinnerplate dahlias in pots before transplanting them out into the garden. The sooner you can get these plants to maturity, the sooner they’ll start producing flowers. Giving them a head start means you can start picking flowers in mid-July rather than early August.
These plants need staking!
