Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Plant tubers in late spring when the soil has warmed to around 60°F (15°C) and the threat of frost has passed.
- Full sun is ideal, though it can tolerate partial shade in warmer climates.
Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep with the "eye" facing upward.
- Spacing: Space tubers 18–24 inches apart to ensure proper air circulation and growth.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0.
- Sunlight: Full sun is optimal, but partial shade is acceptable in hotter regions.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once a week, especially during dry periods, to ensure healthy growth and root development.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time and again when the plants reach 6 inches tall. Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to promote abundant flowers.
Weeding and Mulching
- Regularly weed around the plants to prevent competition for nutrients.
- Apply mulch to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the roots cool.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Watch for aphids, slugs, and snails, which may target dahlias. Natural pest control options, such as neem oil or encouraging beneficial insects, can help.
- Diseases: Ensure good air circulation to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Avoid overhead watering and practice crop rotation to prevent disease buildup.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Cut flowers when they are fully open but still firm. Place them immediately in water to extend their vase life.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, carefully dig up the tubers, allow them to dry, and store them in a cool, dry place until the next planting season.
Storage
Short-Term: Store freshly cut flowers in a vase with water for up to a week. Long-Term: Store dahlia tubers in a cool, dry place during the winter months for replanting in the spring.
