How to grow Candy Eyes

Candy Eyes is a dahlia. Plant tubers 12–18 inches apart in full sun after the last frost. Pinch when plants reach 12 inches tall to encourage bushier growth and more blooms.

Harvest & vase life

Dahlia-form dahlias like Candy Eyes harvest dahlias when blooms are three-quarters to fully open. With clean cuts and fresh water, most varieties last 4–7 days in the vase.
