Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Plant tubers in late spring after the last frost when the soil is warm 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 ensure proper growth and air circulation.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Loamy or sandy soils work best.
- Sunlight: Needs full sun for at least 6 hours a day to produce the largest, most vibrant blooms.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Water deeply and consistently, ensuring the soil remains moist but well-drained. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to tuber rot.
Fertilization
- Use a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) at planting time, and again when plants are about 6 inches tall to ensure strong growth and vibrant blooms.
Weeding and Mulching
- Regularly weed around your dahlias to avoid competition for nutrients. Mulching helps retain moisture, suppresses weeds, and keeps the soil cool.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Monitor for aphids, slugs, and spider mites. Use natural remedies or insecticidal soap to control infestations.
- Diseases: Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal infections. Maintain good airflow around plants to prevent mildew.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Harvest flowers in the morning when the blooms are fully open but still firm to ensure they last longer in arrangements.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, carefully dig up the tubers, dry them out for a few days, and store them in a cool, dry place for the next season.
Storage
Short-Term: Freshly cut dahlias can be kept in a vase for up to a week, bringing vibrant color to your home. Long-Term: Store the tubers in a cool, dry place (40–50°F / 4–10°C) for replanting the following spring.
Culinary and Aesthetic Uses
- Aesthetic: The bright, bold colors of the Country Fair Mix make it a great addition to any garden, especially those looking to add a fun and festive atmosphere.
- Floral Arrangements: Perfect for creating colorful, eye-catching flower arrangements for parties, celebrations, and special events.
