Planting Instructions

Planting Season

  • Plant tubers in late spring, once the risk of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to around 60°F (15°C).
  • These dahlias thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade in warmer climates.

Planting Details

  • Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep with the "eye" facing upward.
  • Spacing: Space tubers 18–24 inches apart to allow room for growth.
  • Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile, slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0.
  • Sunlight: Full sun for the best flowering and plant health.

Care Instructions

Watering

  • Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once a week, particularly during dry spells, to support healthy growth.
  • Ensure the soil drains well to prevent the tubers from rotting.

Fertilization

  • Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) at planting time and again when plants reach 6 inches tall.
  • Reapply every 4–6 weeks to support continuous growth and vibrant blooms.

Weeding and Mulching

  • Regularly weed around the plants to avoid competition for water and nutrients.
  • Use mulch to keep the soil cool, maintain moisture, and reduce weed growth.

Pest and Disease Control

  • Pests: Keep an eye out for aphids and slugs. Use natural pest control measures, such as neem oil or diatomaceous earth.
  • Diseases: Prevent fungal diseases by spacing plants properly, avoiding overhead watering, and rotating crops each year.

Harvesting

  • For Blooms: Harvest flowers when they are fully open but still firm. Use sharp shears to cut the stems and place the flowers in water immediately.
  • For Tubers: After the first frost, dig up the tubers, let them dry, and store them in a cool, dry, dark place for winter storage.

Storage

Short-Term: For fresh flowers, place them in a vase with water immediately after cutting to preserve their freshness. Long-Term: Store tubers in a cool, dry place during winter. Keep them in paper bags or boxes to prevent light exposure.
