Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Santa Claus' dahlia tubers in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Select locations with full sun exposure and well-drained, fertile soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart at a depth of 4-6 inches. In commercial landscape installations, staking is recommended to support the tall stems, especially in windy locations. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. In zones 7-10, these dahlias can often be overwintered in the ground with proper mulching; in colder regions, lift tubers after first frost for winter storage.
