Question 1

Do these Seeds have to be started in seed starter trays? Or can i plant the seeds directly in my garden?

Accepted Answer

If your zone is under 8, then start them inside under lights, and heating pads (Dahlias need warmth to germinate). Seedling trays are optional. Usually, Dahlia seeds are large enough to handle,  so you can sow into pots. This would save you from transferring from the seedling tray to individual pots.

Remember, Dahlia's are slow blooming plants. It takes approximately 100 to 120 days for germination for flowers today appear. If you live in a cold zone. I wouldn't start them any later then mid-February. Then plant them out towards the end of May. By that time you should see some flower buds. Dahlia plants started from seeds will have less flowers then those plants that were started from tubers.  Also, most like the seed plants will not be identical to the plant that it was harvested from.... Whereas the plant from the tuber will be identical.

Question 2

Aren't dhalias bulbs???

Accepted Answer

Dahlias develop tubers and usually you can buy the tubers at the store. 1 tuber turns into 1 plant. Dahlias can also be grown from seed. It will take longer to get flowers but you can get more variety at a lower price if you grow seeds.

I'd reccomend finding a reliable seed supplier because there's plenty of seed scams that give you a different type of seed than the one you ordered and you will be waiting a looooong time and only grow disappointment.

Question 3

Can these seeds just be down outside with other wildflower seeds?

Accepted Answer

I live in Vista, CA.  I grow Dahlias from seeds.....just not these seeds !  I was very disappointed at the germination rate.
I am tempted to try them again as you can get 25 seeds from a deadheaded Dahlia after its flowering has stopped.
If you decide to order, good luck.  Sorry I couldn't provide a better answer.

Question 4

are the seeds all separated?
