The Orange Nugget dahlia helps you create flower beds that burst with colours. Every gardener who wishes to host a storm of magnificent flowers at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, should get to know this variety. Dahlia is a plant that guarantees spectacular results with only limited amount of work. The Orange Nugget dahlia bears splendid orange flowers on relatively small 50 centimetre long shoots. Its feathery leaves provide a wonderful setting for the brightly coloured flowers. The first unfold already in June but the peak of their might falls in July, August and a warm September. Dahlia can be used in many ways. They wonderfully fill flower beds and planters. Dahlias are loved by the gardeners as they belong to the most stunning flowers that you can grow in a garden. Their long flowering period and the abundance of flowers prevent their owners from getting bored with them.

Presented species should be grown on a sunny site in a sheltered garden corner. A large amount of sunlight guarantees abundant blooming and better resistance to fungal diseases. Dahlia likes well cultivated and fertile soils. They should be permeable and constantly moderately moist. Dahlia tubers should not be planted outside earlier than mid-May, into holes thrice the size of the rootstock. Rootstocks should be covered with a few inch thick layer of soil. The stub of the last year's stem should protrude over the ground. After the dahlia season is over, when the first autumn frost comes, you must dig up the rootstocks and store them inside until the next planting late in spring the next year. We recommend using boxes filed with sawdust or peat to store dahlia rootstock. It is worth to inspect the stored tubers from time to time to remove disease-stricken or rotting rootstock and to maintain the appropriate humidity level by gently sprinkling the surface of the rootstock.
