The Chick-a-Dee US dahlia is a garden phenom! This marvellous pompon dahlia produces differently coloured flowers, whose colours vary from light pink to deep red, on the same plant. Flowers that consist of perfectly arranged fluffy petals in different shades of pink and red guarantee a wonderful visual effect on plants that grow about 80 centimetres tall. The compound, vividly green leaves and crimson red shoots complement the spectacular appearance. The Chick-a-Dee US dahlia is a plant suitable both for growing in the garden and for cut flower.

Dahlia rootstock should be planted on flower beds in May, preferably in the second half of the month. This plant likes sunny situations and soils that are rich in nutrients. Make sure that the ground is permeable and constantly yet moderately moist. We recommend adding compost to the soil to improve its properties. This natural fertilizer will also enrich the soil with an additional portion of nutrients. You should not plant its bulbous roots too deep. We recommend watering and feeding dahlia with suitable fertilizers during the entire vegetation period. Frost-sensitive dahlia tubers must be dug out in autumn after the first frost. Cut the blackened, wilted stems right above the ground. Clean and dry the rootstocks. After disposing of the excess soil, place the tubers inside boxes or baskets, cover with peat or sawdust, and place in a room that secured from frost. Leave them in such conditions until late spring when you can plant them again.
