Dahlia advice

This question was asked by
John H – 

When buying Dahlias from you the alternatives are 1 tuber, 3 tubers etc.
how many do I need for each of 2 very large pots/planters?
For example “Bishop of Llandaff”

Thank you.


Dahlias do get quite big and if you pinch them out they spread out quite a bit too. I would advise planting 1 x dahlia tuber in a container that is at least 12” deep and 16” wide. The bigger the pot, the better. Each dahlia tuber needs 12” x 12” x 12” of space to grow well. Don’t plant too many dahlia tubers in one pot.
