Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Plant tubers in late spring after the last frost, when the soil has warmed up.
Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep, ensuring the “eye” or growing tip is facing upwards.
- Spacing: Space tubers 12–18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Loamy or sandy soils work best.
- Sunlight: Requires full sun (at least 6 hours per day) to promote strong, healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Keep the soil consistently moist, but ensure it is well-drained to prevent root rot. Avoid overwatering.
Fertilization
- Use a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) at planting time and once the plants are about 6 inches tall to encourage lush growth and abundant flowers.
Weeding and Mulching
- Mulch around the base to help retain moisture and keep weeds in check. Remove any weeds that may compete for nutrients.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Watch for aphids, slugs, and spider mites. Use insecticidal soap or natural pest control methods to keep them in check.
- Diseases: Avoid overhead watering and ensure good airflow to reduce the risk of fungal diseases like mildew.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Harvest flowers when they are fully open but still firm for the longest-lasting arrangements. The blooms can last up to a week in a vase.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, dig up the tubers carefully, dry them for several days, and store in a cool, dry place for the next planting season.
Storage
Short-Term Storage: Fresh dahlias will last up to a week in a vase. Long-Term Storage: Store the tubers in a cool, dry area at a temperature of 40–50°F (4–10°C) for winter storage, and replant in the spring.
Culinary and Aesthetic Uses
- Aesthetic: This elegant, pastel-colored dahlia mix works well in a variety of garden styles, particularly those with soft, muted color schemes.
- Floral Arrangements: Perfect for creating sophisticated bouquets for weddings, events, or everyday use, adding a soft, creamy elegance to any display.
