Dinner Plate Dahlia 'Black Beauty'

Black Beauty likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Black Beauty is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so it will need protecting in periods of cold weather.

66-77 degrees. Package recommended in a sealed plastic bag. Does not recommend direct sowing of seed. 7-21 days to germinate

Aim to sow 0.1 inches (0.25 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 9.75 inches (25.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 20°C / 68°F.

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

When large enough to handle, put out when NO chance of frost

Black Beauty is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
