Dahlias are adaptable and will flourish in most soil types. However, for optimal growth, it's best to plant them in fertile, well-drained soil. A sunny spot, shielded from strong winds, will ensure a profusion of buds. Given their robust growth, it's essential to fertilise dahlias regularly throughout their blooming season. Ensure consistent soil moisture, as these plants are sensitive to water scarcity and can wilt quickly. To promote continuous blooming, deadhead spent flowers, directing the plant's energy towards growth and new bud production.
In temperate climates, dahlias need some winter care. After the season, their tubers should be excavated and stored in a frost-free environment. Boxes filled with peat, sawdust, or sand are ideal for preserving their vitality for the subsequent season.
This generous GIGA pack offers 50 first-choice 'Sandra' dahlia tubers. Each tuber is accompanied by a label detailing essential cultivation information, ensuring you have the guidance needed for a spectacular display.
