How to grow Tae Bo
Tae Bo 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 Tae Bo 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.
