Planting Information:

Dahlias are shipped as single tubers with minimum one eye guaranteed per tuber. If you are not able to plant the tubers upon arrival, store in a cool, dry, dark location.

Plant Dahlia's after the last Spring frost and soil has warmed to 15°C (60°F). Pick a well drained, rich, organic flower bed or planter to plant into. Loosen the soil to a depth of  30 cm (12")  before planting.  Add compost and all-purpose granular fertilizer to the planting area and mix well. Dig a hole and plant the tubers, keeping the stem(s) or sprouts upright. The top of the tubers, where the sprout emerge, should be positioned 3-6" below the soil surface when the hole is filled in. Fill in around the tuber, firmly pressing down the soil so it is even with the surrounding ground, and water well.  Make sure there are no air pockets in the soil.  If planting in a container, ensure there are adequate drainage holes.  

Tips:

- To get a jump start to the flowering season, you can plant the tubers in pots indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Once the shoots appear, please provide ample light with indoor grow lights or south-facing window. 

- When the plants are 30 cm (12") tall, pinch off the top of the main stem.  This will stimulate branching producing more stems and flowers.

A common mistake when growing dahlias is to overwater tubers you have just planted.  Too much water at this early stage can lead to rot. Water once when you first plant the tuber, then wait until you spot the first sprouts before watering again.

To prevent disease, keep the foliage of dahlias as dry as possible. Water deeply once or twice a week, allowing the 2.5 cm (1") top of soil to dry out in between waterings. 

- Dahlia plants will benefit from supplemental organic water-soluble fertilizer every 3-4 weeks until September. Stop fertilizing in September to promote better overwintering of tubers.

- It is important to deadhead (remove wilted blooms) to encourage new buds, otherwise the plant will stop blooming and will focus its energy on seed production. Trim spent dahlia blooms with clean sharp garden scissors just above the point where the flower stem intersects with a leaf. 

- Cut blossoms liberally for indoor flower arrangements to encourage more branching and flower production. Despite a relatively short vase life, dahlias make gorgeous bouquets.

- Dahlias do not propagate reliably from seed, so if you'd like to keep and multiply your dahlia stock, make sure to dig up the tubers in fall.

- Dahlia tubers can be lifted for winter storage at any time, as long as the plant had been growing for over 120 days.

Overwintering:

- In fall, after the first frost has blackened the foliage, cut off all but 2 to 4 inches of top growth, and carefully dig tubers without damaging them. Allow to dry for a few days in a frost-free location, out of direct sunlight. Once dried, remove any excess soil, leaving 1 to 2 inches of stem. Store each clump of tubers in a ventilated box or basket. Fill the box with peat moss, clean wood shavings or vermiculite and place it in a cool, dry location. Saran wrapping individual tubers is also a great overwintering option, recommended by American Dahlia Society.

- Optimal temperature for overwintering is +4.4C-10C (40F-50F). Don't allow your tubers to freeze as they are extremely cold sensitive. If temperature is too warm however, they may start to sprout in storage.

- Maintaining proper humidity is crucial. If stored wet, tubers will mold and possibly rot. If they are stored too dry, they will shrivel up and may die. A little shriveling is perfectly normal and won't affect the viability of the tubers. 

- Check tubers periodically through winter for rotting and drying out. If the tubers appear shriveled, mist them lightly with water. If any start to rot, trim the rotted portion of the clump so it won't spread. The tubers are fragile, so be careful when handling them.

- When warm weather arrives, you can plant the overwintered tubers and begin the growing cycle again.

Definitely recommend
Size: Large, Style: 4 Pack
My dogs absolutely love these! I bought them at a great price! They have lasted my dogs over a year! I have a full pitbull, pit/lab, pit/boxer, and a pit/mastiff. So needless to say they pass the power jaw test. They look just like the pictures and they are pretty light weight!

Benebone is fantastic for heavy chewers and busy, adolescent pups!
Size: Medium, Style: 4 Pack
This little multi-pack is cost-effective in a few ways, super durable and effective, and I'll definitely be purchasing the multi-pack again. We discovered these about a year ago and have been buying them ever since. I'm just now getting around to reviewing them because they're that good, plus I love that the company is family-owned. Four "bones" lasts a little over a month for a power chewer, which is a bargain! You get 4 medium size "bones" for the retail price of 2. These smell delicious to dogs but humans can detect the odor, which is so nice. They are incredibly durable, but somehow also not too hard for a power chewer, and they keep pup from chewing on books and other items that we don't wanted chewed to bits. Heavy chewers (and their people!) love these and the variety of shapes means we can swap them out in rotation and keep pup's interest going for a few weeks. Wait until your pup has all of their adult teeth, as they are a little too hard for teething. And for super power chewers, watch out for the fish shaped chew, as this one seems to allow larger pieces to be chewed off the fish head "corners" more easily due to the relative thinness of the shape at that point when compared to the other 3 shapes. Keep an eye on how much your power chewer is taking off of these "bones" (little tiny pieces do get chewed off) and toss them (or recycle with Benebone!) when your dog is able to chew off more than a crumb size piece. Hooray for Benebone! Hooray for family-owned businesses! We'll be back for more!

Seems Very Durable So Far
Size: Small, Style: 4 Pack
My dogs are really enjoying these chew toys! These keep them busy for hours!! So far they seem very durable and my little dogs can really chew and destroy so I’m happy about these so far! They rarely each chew a toy at the same time, but choose to take turns instead. But now they each have a chew toy and they are happy campers!!

Recommended by my breeder
Size: Small, Style: Wishbone/Dental
Purchased these two small sized Benebones for my puppy Springer Spaniel. It’s one of her favorite toys and it is well used and well worn. Replaced these with the medium size recently as she’s almost full grown now.
