Growing Figaro Series Dahlia Garden Seeds

Figaro Series dahlias are a hardy outdoor favorite and best sown directly outside after the frost. For earliest blooms, begin indoors 6-8 weeks prior as dahlia seeds will require 14-21 days to germinate with plenty of light. Transplant seedlings when four sets of true leaves appear into a partial shaded spot in the garden or equally shaded place indoors. Figaro Series dahlias are just as popularly grown indoors as they are out. Plant 2-3 Figaro Series dahlia seeds 2 inches deep into fertile, medium moist, and well-drained soil in partial sun. Figaro Series dahlia is adaptable and known to be tolerant of drought, heat, and poor soils. Do not overwater dahlias since plants are occasionally susceptible to leaf spots caused by bacteria and fungi in over-saturated and poorly ventilated gardens. Dahlias have no serious pests but monitor regularly for aphids, especially on indoor plants. Figaro Series dahlia seeds are mature in 84-91 days as 14-18 inch mounded uprights with a 10-12 inch spread of 2-3 inch single and fully double blooms.

Dahlia pinnata, or more commonly known as dahlia, is native to the dry and arid regions of Mexico and Central America and is the official flower of Mexico. Dahlia pinnata is known to have been an ornamental flower cultivated by the Aztecs before the arrival of the Europeans.
