All Dahlias need is just average garden care. They 
appreciate well drained soil and full sunshine. Plant them 
when the ground warms up. 
Stake the tall-growing ones 
when you plant; the foliage soon will hide the stakes. Set 
2 to 4 ft. apart, depending upon how thick you want them. 
For really large blooms, disbud. Of course the miniatures 
and pompons should be allowed to bloom freely. In the 
fall, after a frost, dig the bulbs and store like potatoes.
