Use a typical flower fertilizer about twice a month. Your soil for growing dahlias should be rich, but these flowers will also respond well to regular fertilizing. These plants grow tall, up to four feet (1 m.), so also choose a site where they won’t overshadow other plants. To get the biggest blooms from your dinnerplate varieties, choose a sunny spot with rich soil that drains well. Whether you’re starting from seed or transplants, don’t put your flowers outside until you are sure there will be no more frosts. Watch your flowers and use stakes or some other type of support if they start to lean or flop over. Since the blooms are so large, though, staking and support may be more important with these varieties.
