This is exactly how deep to plant dahlias for the best results

Between now and early June is the best time to plant your dahlia tubers – as long as the risk of frost has gone.

With some dahlia varieties like Café au Lait being so popular and selling out fast, it pays to get the planting right so you can enjoy your blooms to the max.

Lucie Bradley, gardening and greenhouse expert at Easy Garden Irrigation, agrees, ‘It is vitally important that when you are planting dahlias that you plant them to the correct depth otherwise you risk the chance of things going wrong later on.’
