Planting Instructions
Planting Season

- Avoid planting before the soil temperature is consistently warm to encourage healthy growth.
Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep with the "eye" or sprouting point facing upward.
- Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow room for growth and good air circulation.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral).
- Sunlight: Needs full sun for at least 6 hours a day for optimal growth and abundant blooms.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Water the plants regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Dahlia Peaches needs about 1 inch of water per week, especially during dry spells.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time and again when the plants reach about 6 inches in height to support healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Weeding and Mulching
- Keep the area around the plants free of weeds, which can compete for nutrients and water.
- Use mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weed growth.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Watch for aphids, snails, and slugs, which can damage dahlia plants. Use organic methods like neem oil or insecticidal soap to protect plants from pests.
- Diseases: Dahlia Peaches can be susceptible to fungal diseases such as powdery mildew. Ensure good air circulation by spacing the plants well apart, and avoid watering overhead to prevent wetting the foliage.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Cut flowers when they are fully open but still fresh. For long-lasting cut flowers, make sure to cut the stems at an angle and place them immediately in water.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, dig up the tubers carefully, clean them, and store them in a cool, dry location to protect them for the winter.
Storage
Short-Term: Place freshly cut flowers in water and change the water every few days to maintain freshness.
Long-Term: Store dahlia tubers in a cool, dry place (around 40°F/4°C) during the winter months. Pack tubers in peat moss or sawdust to prevent drying out.
