Shop nowDahlias from seed are a quick, affordable way to enjoy these flamboyant summer flowers — bedding and single-flowered types bloom from seed in their first year, flowering right up to the frosts and beloved by bees. They sit within our flower seed range. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide covers the basics.
Dahlias need an early, frost-free start — the calendar shows when to sow.
Seed-raised bedding dahlias flower for months and are superb in borders, pots and the vase — great for our cut-flower patch — while their open, single flowers are excellent for pollinators. At the end of the season you can even lift and store the little tubers they form.
Sow indoors in warmth in early spring, grow on and harden off, then plant out after the last frost in a sunny, fertile spot. Deadhead regularly for a long, generous display, and stake the taller types.
