Will it look like the parent plant?? Maybe, but maybe not. Dahlia seeds are open pollinated and each seed will give you a different and amazing flower. Each beautiful in its own individual way. You may get lucky and get something close to the parent plant or you may get something even better. Only time will tell. That’s what makes seeds so much fun. Amazing flowers, fraction of the price of tubers, and you don’t need to worry about receiving a viruses product. It’s a win win all the way around.
Dahlia planting instructions
I like to transplant these. They like the heat so start them approximately 4 weeks before last frost and plant out when all danger of freezing has passed.
Cover seed when planting and keep moist.
If you like you can start these with the paper towel method, pull the germinated baby seedling and plant that. Wet paper towel, zip loc baggie, warm surface and light. I have done it both ways it’s a personal preference.
Germination: 5-7 days I like a heat mat and humidity dome
They like full sun and well-draining soil.
Spacing: you can plant close together, then when one blooms and if you don’t like it, you can simply pull it out.
Pinching is recommended to encourage branching.
The more you cut and more it grows.
Between 30-40 seeds per pack
