Planting and Growing Information
Plant Melody Dora tubers in spring after all danger of frost has passed, spacing them 18-24 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil. They thrive in full sun but appreciate afternoon shade in hotter climates. Hardy in zones 8-10, these dahlias can be treated as perennials, while in zones 3-7, tubers should be lifted in fall and stored over winter. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming throughout the season.
