Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Plant Dahlia Pink Pearl in spring, after the last frost date, when the soil temperature has reached at least 60°F (15°C).
- This variety thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade in warmer climates.
Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep, ensuring the "eye" or sprouting point is facing upwards.
- Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart for optimal air circulation and to allow the flowers to bloom freely.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Ensure the soil is not too heavy or waterlogged.
- Sunlight: Full sun is essential for producing the best blooms. Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Provide around 1 inch of water per week, particularly during dry spells, and avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
Fertilization
- Feed with a balanced fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) at planting time and again when plants reach about 6 inches in height to encourage strong, healthy growth.
Weeding and Mulching
- Keep the area around the plants free from weeds, which can compete for nutrients and water.
- Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid mulching directly on the tubers.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Look out for aphids, slugs, and spider mites. Use natural pest control methods like neem oil or insecticidal soap to keep these pests at bay.
- Diseases: To reduce the risk of fungal diseases, ensure proper spacing between plants for good airflow and avoid overhead watering.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Harvest flowers when they are fully open but still firm. Cut the stems at an angle and place them in water immediately to extend their life in arrangements.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, dig up the tubers and store them in a cool, dry place over the winter. Remove excess soil, allow the tubers to dry out, and store them in a medium like peat moss to prevent drying.
Storage
Short-Term: Place cut flowers in a vase with fresh water, and change the water every few days for longer-lasting blooms.
Long-Term: Store tubers in a cool, dry location (about 40°F/4°C) for winter storage, ensuring they are kept in a medium like sawdust or peat moss.
