The Blue Wish dahlia with its incredible ornamental flowers will light up the end of the garden season. The subtle combination of white with the purple-blue petal tips add freshness to every setting. These vigorous plants produce lavish green foliage. Flowers develop atop the up to 120 centimetres tall stems. You can admire them in the second half of summer and at the beginning of autumn. Vigorous dahlias are plants worth growing in every home garden. They will pass the test as border plants and those grown in groups on lawns. Due to its height, dahlia can be used as garden dividers and cover for less attractive plot parts.

Permeable and fertile soils suit dahlia the most. Make sure to regularly water and fertilize lesser soils. You can feed the soil with compost or a slow-release multicomponent fertilizer right before planting. Avoid nitrate fertilizers that ensure abundant growth of the tufts but would not stimulate plants to produce flowers. You should remove wilted flowers to stimulate dahlias to more abundant and long lasting blooming.

Dahlia will adorn your garden for years to come if you dig out its frost sensitive rootstock after the end of each season. Roughly cleaned and dried dahlia tubers should be stored in a dry, ventilated room that is well protected from frost. Storing dahlia rootstock in baskets or airy boxes, layered with peat or sawdust, proves to be most convenient. Plant the rootstock again after the last frost in spring.
