Growing Tips:

• Light Requirements: Dahlias  thrive in full sun, so choose a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil is essential. Adding organic matter can improve soil quality and provide the nutrients needed for healthy growth.
• Watering: Regular watering is important, especially during dry spells, to keep the foliage lush and the flowers blooming beautifully.

Planting Tips:

When planting Dahlia tubers, consider the following:

1. Timing: Plant tubers in spring after the last frost date, when the soil has warmed up.
2. Depth: Plant the tubers about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) deep, with the eyes facing up.
3. Spacing: Space the tubers about 30-45 cm (12-18 inches) apart to allow for their growth and spread.

Care and Maintenance:

• Fertilisation: Apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.
• Staking: Taller varieties may require staking to support the heavy blooms and prevent them from toppling over.
• Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.

Incorporating Dahlias into your garden will not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also provide a stunning display of colour and texture throughout the summer and into the  Autumn. With its vibrant flowers and unique foliage, this dahlia is sure to be a cherished addition to your landscape!
