Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Plant Dahlia Eveline in the spring, once the danger of frost has passed, and the soil temperature has warmed to at least 60°F (15°C).
- Wait until all frost risks have passed to ensure the healthiest plant growth.
Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep, with the "eye" or sprouting point facing upwards.
- Spacing: Space tubers 12–18 inches apart to allow room for the plants to grow and maintain good air circulation.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral).
- Sunlight: Requires full sun for at least 6 hours per day to encourage optimal growth and prolific blooming.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply to promote strong root development, especially during dry spells.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time and again when the plants are about 6 inches tall to encourage healthy growth and a profusion of blooms.
- Avoid using fertilizers with high nitrogen content, as this may encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Weeding and Mulching
- Regularly remove weeds around the plants to prevent competition for nutrients and moisture.
- Apply mulch to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain a stable soil temperature.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Watch for aphids, slugs, and snails, which may damage the plants. Organic pest control methods such as neem oil or insecticidal soap can be used to control these pests.
- Diseases: Maintain good air circulation to reduce the risk of fungal diseases such as powdery mildew. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Harvest flowers when they are fully open but still fresh. Cut the stems at an angle to prolong the flowers' life in floral arrangements.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, dig up the tubers carefully, clean them, and store them in a cool, dry place for winter.
Storage
Short-Term: For cut flowers, place them in water and change the water regularly to keep the flowers fresh for as long as possible.
Long-Term: Store dahlia tubers in a cool, dry place (around 40°F/4°C) after the growing season. Pack them in peat moss or sawdust to prevent drying out and to ensure they remain healthy over winter.
