Growing Red Cap Dahlias
All dahlias do best in deep rich soil with good drainage in a sunny spot. If it's windy they'll need staking. They're greedy, thirsty plants so will need watering in dry spells, and they'll always flower that little bit better if there is a bit of soluble food in the watering can once every couple of weeks.
It's generally more convenient to put support stakes in at planting time, rather than leaving it until there is foliage in the way.
