Dinner Plate Dahlia 'Diablo'

In zones below 8, dig and store tubers after first hard frost.

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Diablo is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside.

Do not exclude light.

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). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

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

Prefers full sun.

As Diablo is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

By our calculations, you should look at planting out Diablo about 0 days after your last frost date.

Named for 18th century Swedish botanist Anders Dahl.
