    Planting and Care Guide
    • The “Bulb”: Like all dahlias, ‘Black Narcissus’ grows from a tuber, not a true bulb. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    • Planting: Wait until all risk of frost has passed in spring. Plant in well-draining, fertile soil in full sun, about 15 cm (6 inches) deep. [1, 2]
    • Spacing: Place tubers 45–60 cm (18–24 inches) apart. [1]
    • Maintenance: Stake the tall stems early in the season to protect them from wind. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. [1, 2, 3]
    • Winter Care: Dahlias are not frost-tolerant. After the first autumn frost, carefully dig up the tubers, dry them, and store them in a frost-free, cool, and dry location until the following spring. [1, 2, 3]
