DAHLIA SEED 
Sow in flats or frames in early spring in light soil, 
cover the seed not more than one-fourth inch about the 
same as you would tomato seed. When first pair of true 
leaves are well developed transplant into small pots or 
flats and grow in cool temperature until they can be planted 
in the garden. Should they get too large pinch back and 
shift to larger pots. 
Dahlia seedlings never come true to their parentage, but 
do usually show some similar characteristics in form, color 
or brush growth. You cannot grow seedlings of a named 
variety and produce the same variety.
