Basic Care Summary. Best in fertile, well-drained soil. Allow soil to dry between thorough waterings. Remove faded flowers.
- Preparing the Soil: Prepare a well-draining, fertile soil bed for planting. Ensure the soil is loose and enriched with organic matter such as compost or aged manure.
- Choosing the Planting Location: Select a sunny location for planting your dahlia tubers. Dahlias thrive in full sunlight, so choose a spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Planting Depth and Spacing: Plant the dahlia tubers horizontally in the soil, about 4-6 inches deep and spaced approximately 12-18 inches apart. Ensure the eyes (buds) of the tubers are facing upward.
- Watering: Water the newly planted tubers thoroughly to settle the soil and initiate growth. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season.
- Deadheading and Pruning: Remove spent flowers (deadheading) regularly to encourage continuous blooming. Prune any damaged or diseased foliage to maintain plant health and vigor.
- Pest and Disease Management: Monitor the dahlia plants for pests such as aphids, spider mites, and slugs, as well as common diseases like powdery mildew and botrytis. Use organic pest control methods and fungicides as needed.
- Harvesting: Enjoy the beautiful blooms of your F2 hybrid double dahlias throughout the growing season. Cut flowers for bouquets when they are fully open but before they start to fade.
