CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR DAHLIA SEED 
Dahlia seed should be planted about the middle of April. 
Prepare a box of fine soil about 5 inches in depth. Sow seed 1 inch apart making rows 
5 inches apart. Cover seeds 1 inch deep leaving the surface of the soil level and then press 
soil very hard with a flat board. Water thoroughly and darken the box with boards or heavy 
cloth. While germinating the soil should always be moist. When seedlings appear the flat may 
be uncovered and brought into the light. When 2 inches high they may be subjected to 
50% sunlight and later to full sunlight. Plants can be set when 5 inches tall and they may 
be planted 8 inches apart in the garden. 
A seed flat can be germinated indoors or anyplace where temperature is over 70 degrees.
