My Dhalia seeds have grown as below. What should be the next step? Shall I leave them in the same pot for a while and plant them outside in clumps? Do I need to move them to bigger pots?
get them into individual pots, not too big, just big enough to fit the roots in and keep potting them on til they fill at least a 2L pot. Then you can plant them out. They grow very quickly and will flower this year
Thanks Hazel - I only wish I'd taken a pic when they we're in full flower - they had started to go-over at that stage - and dead-heading is not a specialty of mine.

Hurray! Thankyou
Don't plant out until after the last frosts.

I presume that the flowers produced in year one will be insuperior compared to flowers from a tuber, or am I wrong?
You won't get those big multi-petaled pompom flowers from seed but I see that as an advantage, so do the bees.

Some I grew from seed in 2014.
This year I'm growing Bishops Children - wonderful tropical colours and red-tinged leaves
