Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Plant tubers in late spring after the last frost when the soil has warmed up and the weather is consistently mild.
Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep with the “eye” or growing tip facing upwards.
- Spacing: Space the tubers 12–18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0.
- Sunlight: Needs full sun for at least 6 hours a day to encourage abundant blooms.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Water deeply to keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to tuber rot. Water regularly during dry spells.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time and again when the plants reach about 6 inches tall to promote strong, healthy growth and large blooms.
Weeding and Mulching
- Keep the area around the plants free of weeds. Mulch the base of the dahlias to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil cool.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Watch for aphids, spider mites, and slugs. Consider using insecticidal soap or natural predators like ladybugs to control these pests.
- Diseases: To prevent fungal issues, avoid overhead watering and ensure good air circulation around the plants. Rotate crops to avoid disease buildup.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Cut the flowers in the morning when they are fully open but still firm to ensure they last longer in bouquets.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, dig up the tubers, let them dry out for a few days, and store them in a cool, dry place until the next planting season.
Storage
Short-Term: Fresh-cut blooms can last up to 7 days in a vase, adding elegance and beauty to any room. Long-Term: Store the tubers in a cool, dry location (40–50°F / 4–10°C) for replanting the following season.
