Dinner Plate Dahlia 'Fern Irene'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Fern Irene is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.39 inches (1.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 20°C / 68°F.

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

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