Dahlia Cultivation
A very easy tuber to grow. Bright blooms look amazing when planted en-masse in garden beds, borders, pots and are a suitable cut flower.
Dahlia's are an excellent cut flower. Staking may be necessary for support of the plant. Dahlia's like to be picked, and this will produce flowers for a longer period.
Planting Depth: 10-20 cm deep
Blooming time: Blooms in Summer
Position: Full sun/Part shade
Planting Time: Plant from September onwards
Soil Position: Prefers a full sun/part shade position. Enjoys a well drained, organic rich soil. Dahlia's in particular thrive in neutral or alkaline soils, so adding lime to acidic soils is very beneficial.
