Dahlia from seed??

21 years ago

I am very new to Dahlias. I have planted tubers before, but never seeds. I didn't even know you could grow Dahlias from seed, so I have some questions. Can seeds be direct sewn in the garden? Do I need to do anything special to them before I plant them? Will tubers form on the plants that can be divided next year?

Thanks in advance! :)

Here you go.
I've never grown from seed. I lost the seeds I received last winter : ( Maybe they'll turn up yet...

You can sow them directly in the garden esp. if they are the little ones. The bigger ones should be started earlier indoors & planted out when the weather warms up.
You don't have to treat them with anything.
Tubers will form & can be divided for more next year.
