Growing Labyrinth Dahlia Bulbs
Plant tubers after all danger of frost has passed and soil is well warmed ( 60 F). Dig holes 4-6 inches deep, place the tuber so its eye/sprout is facing upward, and cover with soil. Space tubers 18-24 inches apart. Stake early to support large blooms.
Maintain even moisture, keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer at planting and again every 3-4 weeks during bloom season. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage new flowering. Ensure good airflow around plants to help prevent disease.
Labyrinth in the Garden
This variety makes a romantic and artistic display in flower beds or as a focal point. Because of its ruffled blooms and color complexity, it works beautifully in cutting gardens. Large containers with good depth and drainage also perform well.
Harvesting Labyrinth Dahlias
Harvest blooms in the morning after dew has dried. Cut blooms when they are just opening (for the best vase life). When frost threatens or after the first hard frost in colder zones, remove foliage. In colder climates, lift tubers after frost, allow them to dry, and store in a cool, dry place until replanting.
