Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Plant Dahlia Cornel Bronze tubers in late spring, once the risk of frost has passed and the soil is warm (above 60°F or 15°C).
- Choose a spot that receives full sun for optimal growth and flowering.
Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep, ensuring the "eye" of the tuber faces upwards.
- Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow adequate room for growth and air circulation.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0–7.0.
- Sunlight: Full sun is required for optimal blooming and strong plant growth.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Dahlia Cornel Bronze needs about 1 inch of water per week, especially during dry spells.
- Water at the base to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to fungal diseases.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) when planting and again when the plants are 6 inches tall for healthy growth.
- Continue fertilizing every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to promote vibrant blooms.
Weeding and Mulching
- Regularly remove weeds to prevent competition for nutrients.
- Mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and keep weeds at bay.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Watch for aphids, slugs, and snails. Use organic pest control methods, such as insecticidal soap or slug traps.
- Diseases: Prevent fungal diseases by ensuring good air circulation and avoiding overhead watering. Dahlia Cornel Bronze is also prone to tuber rot if overwatered, so proper drainage is crucial.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Cut flowers when they are fully open but firm to the touch for the longest vase life.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, dig up the tubers carefully, dry them completely, and store them in a cool, dry place for the winter.
Storage
Short-Term: Store cut flowers in a vase with fresh water. Change the water regularly to ensure the flowers last as long as possible. Long-Term: Tubers should be stored in a cool, dry area (40°F or 4°C) during the winter months to prevent rotting. Ensure they are fully dry before storage.
Culinary and Aesthetic Uses
- Aesthetic: The deep bronze flowers make Dahlia Cornel Bronze a perfect choice for adding color contrast and sophistication to your garden. It works well in mixed beds, borders, and containers.
