Growing Guide for Professional Results
Plant Santa Claus dahlia tubers in spring after all danger of frost has passed, selecting locations with full sun to partial shade. Position tubers 3-5 inches deep and 12-16 inches apart in rich, well-draining soil. For optimal flowering, provide consistent moisture without waterlogging and apply balanced fertilizer low in nitrogen. In zones 7-10, these dahlias thrive as perennials, while in colder regions, lift tubers after the first frost for winter storage. Staking is recommended to support the impressive height and substantial blooms.
