The Blue Boy dahlia is a flower that delights with its beauty and colour. Its lavender blue semi-spherical flowers that consist of tiling petals guarantee a wonderful visual effect. Dahlias are large plants that grow about 1 metre tall and flower from July to October. The densely leaved and abundantly blooming Blue Boy dahlia is a variety that thrives on the borders, in large pots, and planters. Dahlia, a plant that does not fear bad weather and reliably produces flower buds, is a species that you should include in your garden plans as it helps prolong the summer. The Blue Boy dahlia is perfectly suited for creation of flower borders, rows alongside driveways, and planting in groups.

The best time for planting dahlia rootstock is late spring, the second half of May. Choose a sunny or only partially shady situation. It would be good if it is sheltered from strong wind gales that could break the fragile stems. Dahlia tolerates virtually every kind of soil provided it is regularly fertilized. This plant grows best in a fertile, permeable soil that remains moist. Dahlia belongs to species that must be excavated before the winter. Store rootstock in temperatures between 3 and 5?C in a dry and airy room.
