    Dahlia Tubers (Collarette) - Edith Jones FAQs

    When do I plant dahlia tubers?

    Think of planting your dahlias when you plant your tomatoes. Plant in spring after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 60°F. In warmer climates, planting can begin earlier than in regions with colder springs.

    What is a collarette dahlia?

    Collarette dahlias feature a single outer ring of broad petals surrounding a smaller inner ring of petaloids, known as the collar. This distinctive flower form gives each collarette an open, delicate appearance that differs from fully double dahlias.

    Do dahlias need staking?

    Staking is recommended, particularly in windy locations or when plants become heavily loaded with flowers. Providing support early helps protect stems as the plant grows.

    Is Edith Jones Dahlia a dwarf variety?

    No. Despite its delicate-looking flowers, Edith Jones is a medium-tall dahlia that typically reaches up to 40 inches in height. Its upright growth makes it a lovely choice for cutting gardens and the middle or back of flower borders.

    Will dahlias come back every year?

    Dahlias are tender perennials that can overwinter in the ground in sufficiently warm climates with good drainage. In colder regions, tubers should be lifted after frost and stored in a cool, frost-free location until spring.
