Why choose dahlias?
Dahlias are not only beautiful in your garden but also exceptionally versatile. Here are some interesting facts about dahlias.
Dahlia blooming period
These unique flowers bloom from summer until frost, making them a long-lasting and striking addition to any garden. While many other flowers begin to fade in the fall, dahlias continue to add vibrant colors to your garden.
When to plant dahlias?
Always plant a dahlia tuber after the last frost of the year, especially in the spring. February and March are excellent months to put them in the ground. By caring for dahlias properly and providing plenty of light, you will be rewarded with beautiful and colorful blooms in the summer.
Care
To ensure that dahlia flowers grow well, it is important to give them enough attention. Dahlias thrive best in well-draining soil in a sunny location. Regular watering and the removal of faded flowers promote vigorous growth and ultimately stimulate the plant's blooming.
Are dahlias tubers or bulbs?
Dahlias are tubers, not bulbs. A dahlia grows from an underground tuber that stores water and nutrients. These tubers can be dug up and stored after blooming, so they can be replanted the following season. Popular bulbs available at Tulipstore include tulips and daffodils.
When to buy dahlia tubers?
At Dahliastore, you can pre-order your favorite dahlias as early as autumn. We deliver the dahlia tubers around mid-March. This ensures the last frost has passed, and you can plant them directly in your garden. Happy shopping on Dahliastore's website!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have any questions about this beautiful flower? We will answer a couple of the most frequently asked questions about dahlias.
Is the dahlia frost-hardy?
No, the dahlia is not frost-hardy. This plant originates from warm climates and cannot tolerate frost. In the Netherlands and other colder regions, dahlia tubers must be dug up before the first frost and stored in a cool, frost-free place, such as a basement or shed.
In which month does the dahlia emerge from the ground?
The dahlia typically emerges from the ground in late spring, around May. This depends on soil temperature and weather conditions. Dahlias need warmth to grow, and the tubers start sprouting when the soil has warmed to approximately 15°C.
What is the best location for dahlias?
The best location for dahlias is a sunny and sheltered spot. Dahlias thrive in warmth and require at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day to bloom well. It’s also ideal to plant them in a location protected from strong winds. Additionally, dahlias prefer well-drained soil.
Is the dahlia a perennial?
The dahlia is originally a perennial plant, but in the Netherlands and other regions with cold winters, it is often treated as an annual. This is because dahlia tubers are not frost-hardy and cannot survive freezing temperatures.
