Dinner Plate Dahlia 'Preference'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Preference is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors.

Look to ensure a distance 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

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

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