Dahlias & Peonies

Growing

  • Yes! We are happy to help answer questions. Please email us at columbiariverdahlias@gmail.com with questions.

    • Eyes can be very tricky to identify especially when they are still dormant. If you are new to dahlias, you can put your tuber in damp potting soil, peat moss, or pine shaving and place it in a warm spot (possibly on top of your refrigerator) and it should start pushing an eye within a couple of weeks.
    • Eyes can look like small brown, purple or green bumps when they start to grow. You do not have to have a sprouting eye before you plant. The tuber can be planted with a dormant eye and will wake up and start growing once the ground temperatures above 55°. 

  • Yes, we do fertilize our plants once they are above the ground. Read our fertilize guide for more information. 

  • For more tutorials, check out our blog articles, or watch videos on our YouTube channel.

    • Find an area that has well-draining soil. Dahlias will grow in almost any soil, but they do grow better with well-draining soil and a sunny area that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Plant the tuber 4”- 6” deep and space each tuber about 12" apart. For more planting information check out our planting 101 article.
