Dinner Plate Dahlia 'Nippon'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Nippon is thought of as tender, 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). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

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

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Nippon is a tender plant.
