From March onwards, the tubers can be started indoors to encourage earlier flowering. Plants can be moved outdoors after the last frosts in May (around May 15), or earlier if the weather is warm, but take care to avoid night frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlanting outdoors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTubers can be planted outdoors after the last frost, about 3–5 cm deep, with approximately 50 cm between plants. Flowering begins 60 to 90 days later. Planting can continue until the end of June.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLocation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDahlias prefer a sunny, sheltered spot in nutrient-rich, well-drained, slightly calcareous sandy soil. Because of their large flowers, staking may sometimes be necessary. Planting in pots is only recommended if the container is large and well-draining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTopping Dahlias\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinching (topping) dahlias encourages compact, bushy growth. Pinch the plant once it has developed two to four pairs of leaves. Cut just above a leaf node with sharp, clean pruning shears. This encourages side branching, resulting in more flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCaring for 'White Perfection'\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil consistently moist, as drying out can affect growth and flowering. Remove spent flowers to encourage new growth. Just before the first frost, cut the plant back to ground level. Protect tubers in the ground with mulch during light frost, or lift and store them frost-free during severe frost. Tubers can be divided annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimal growth, feed dahlias regularly, preferably every six weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePropagation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePropagate tubers by dividing them in autumn or spring.
