Planting and Growing Information
Plant Fairway Spur tubers in spring after all danger of frost has passed, selecting locations with full sun exposure (6-8 hours daily) and well-draining soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart at a depth of 4-6 inches. For optimal blooming, pinch growing tips when plants reach 12 inches tall to encourage bushier growth. These dahlias flower from mid-summer until first frost, providing months of spectacular color. In zones 4-7, lift tubers in fall for winter storage; in zones 8-10, they can often remain in the ground.
