Water until the plants are at least 8 inches tall with 3 or 4 sets of leaves. If you live in a hot, dry climate, you may need to water more than once per week. Tips

The first plant was called Dahlia pinnata after its pinnate foliage; the second, Dahlia rosea for its rose-purple color. In 1796, from the parts sent by Cervantes, Cavanilles flowered a third plant, which he named Dahlia coccinea for its scarlet color. In 1798, Cavanilles sent D. pinnata seeds to Parma, Italy.
Dahlia coccinea is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. Its common name is red dahlia , although the flowers can be orange or occasionally yellow, as well as the more common red.
Dahlia pinnata is a perennial herbaceous plant with a rhizome and tuberous roots, reaching a height of 70 to 120 centimetres (28 to 47 inches), rarely 160 cm. The stem is erect, and branched only in the inflorescence. The leaves are usually simple, with leaflets that are ovate and 5–10 centimetres (2–4 in) long. The plant is slightly shaggy.
From its underground base, the plant will begin sending up hollow, cane-like, 4-sided stems with swollen nodes and large, tripinnate leaves; foliage near the ground is quickly shed. The pendant or nodding flowerheads are 7.5–15 centimetres (3–6 inches) across, with ray florets , typically a lavender or mauvish-pink in colour.
