    Dahlia Tubers (Anemone) - Freya's Paso Doble 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.

    Will removing spent flowers encourage Freya's Paso Doble Dahlia to bloom longer?

    Yes. Regular deadheading encourages the plant to direct energy toward producing new flower buds rather than developing seeds. With proper care, Freya's Paso Doble can continue flowering from summer until the first frost.

    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.

    What is an anemone-flowered dahlia?

    Anemone-flowered dahlias features an outer ring of broad, flat petals surrounding a raised, cushion-like center of tightly clustered tubular florets. This unusual combination creates a beautifully textured, two-tiered bloom.

    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.
