FAQs

When planting Bohemian Spartacus Dahlia tubers, it’s best to give each tuber enough space to grow to its full potential. Typically, you should plant one tuber per hole, as overcrowding can restrict growth and reduce the size and quality of the blooms. Each tuber should be spaced about 18 to 24 inches apart to ensure proper air circulation, healthy root expansion, and adequate room for the plant’s bushy growth. Planting them too close together may increase the risk of disease and hinder flower production. By planting one tuber per space, you’ll encourage stronger plants and more vibrant, full blossoms.

Yes, Bohemian Spartacus Dahlia tubers will multiply over time, making them an excellent choice for gardeners who want to expand their flower beds. Each growing season, the tubers produce new offsets underground, which can be divided after the plant has finished blooming and the foliage has died back. This natural multiplication process allows you to replant and enjoy even more stunning flowers in the following years. With proper care, a single tuber can turn into a healthy clump that produces several new tubers. By dividing them every couple of years, you’ll ensure healthier plants, prevent overcrowding, and continuously rejuvenate your dahlia garden.

Soaking Bohemian Spartacus Dahlia tubers before planting is not necessary, but some gardeners choose to do so to speed up the sprouting process. If you decide to soak them, a short soak in lukewarm water for an hour or two can help rehydrate the tubers after storage, especially if they feel particularly dry. However, you should avoid soaking them for too long, as excess moisture may increase the risk of rot. The most important step is ensuring the soil is well-draining and warm before planting. With healthy soil conditions, your tubers will naturally absorb moisture and begin growing strong shoots.

Yes, you can successfully grow Bohemian Spartacus Dahlia tubers in pots and containers, making them an excellent option for patios, balconies, or small gardens. To achieve the best results, use a large container with a minimum depth of 12–14 inches to allow enough room for root development. Make sure the container has proper drainage holes, as dahlias do not thrive in soggy soil. A high-quality potting mix enriched with organic matter will give your dahlias the nutrients they need. Since potted dahlias may dry out faster than those planted in the ground, consistent watering and regular feeding are essential for healthy growth and continuous blooms.
