Dinner Plate Dahlia 'Red Bird'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Red Bird is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors.

Aim to sow 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 20°C / 68°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Red Bird about 60 days before your last frost date.

Red Bird is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
