The Nadia Ruth dahlia stands out with its undisputed beauty. Its fluffy pastel coloured flowers constitute a feast for the eyes that a few only could resist.  Dahlias that grow as 90 to 100 centimetres tall bushes bear light pink flowers with almost white centres. The Nadia Ruth variety belongs to cactus dahlias that produce lush inflorescences. Dozens of whorls that consist of petals with forking tips provide the gardeners and plot owners with magnificent material for filling flower beds and cut flowers. Spherical flowers sit atop stems that shoot nice green feathery leaves. Presented variety blooms reliably from July to October.

Dahlias belong to plants that thrive on sunny situations and partial shade. Choose spots that are sheltered from wind to protect frail stems from breaking and other injuries. Staking or use of other supports is an alternative solution to this problem. Grow dahlia about 50 centimetres apart, as this species is characterized by a rather vigorous growth. From April to June, the tuberous rootstocks should be planted about five centimetres deep.  Dahlia develops particularly well in sandy-clay, fertile, and permeable soil. It requires watering during the entire vegetation period. Wilted flowers must be removed to stimulate plants to produce new buds. Dahlia requires fertilizing too. You can use manure, compost, or mineral fertilizers with limited nitrogen content.  Dahlia belongs to plants that are sensitive to low temperatures. Cut the shoots right above the ground after the first frost and excavate the tuberous rootstocks. Be careful not to damage them. After they have dried a bit, remove the superfluous soil and put the rootstocks into baskets or open boxes with sand, peat, or sawdust. Store dahlia rootstocks in a cool, dry place until the next planting in spring.
