To have outstanding success with dahlias, plant them in very good soil. A lab test is really recommended, it will show you what trace minerals and nutrients your soil needs to be amended with. Before planting, loosen your soil and add a layer of 5-8 cm rich, well-aged compost. Soil drainage is really important, dahlia tubers do not like to sit in water for extended periods of time, especially heavy clay soils. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"JsGRdQ\"\u003ePoor drainage leads to tuber rot, so be sure to check your soil drainage.

Lay each tuber down horizontally in a hole that is 10-15 cm deep with the eyes facing upwards (if you can see them). Cover each tuber with a layer of 5cm of soil. You can slightly water your soil until moist, do not give too much water at tuber planting stage, as this will cause the tuber to rot.
