Dahlia 'Fascination' spring planting Q

15 years ago

Life long gardener, but a total novice when it comes to dahlias. Have done some searches, but haven't been able to find 'days to bloom' info for this variety.

Just trying to determine if I'm going to need to start them early in pots or if I can plant them directly in the bed next year.

Thanks.

I am in zone 7. Still in bloom. should be enough days in your season to plant directly in soil. Mid May?? Steve in Baltimore County.

Thanks Steve, that's what my gut said but it's very reassuring to have it confirmed. Mine are still in bloom too.
