The "Soulman" anemone-flowered dahlia dazzles with crimson-pink flowers. They constitute the star ensemble for many gardeners, particularly during the second half of summer and in autumn. Their magnificent dark crimson colour and flower shape are exactly the features of the "Soulman" dahlia. The enchanting flowers with flat and broad verticils of outer petals and the shortened, gently twisting central petals will attract attention of every garden guest. Dark crimson blooms of the presented dahlia variety harmonize well with montbretia, eryngo, day lilies, red hot poker lily and taller sage cultivars. All plants with a light, airy habit prove to be a great background for this dahlia. Thanks to the extremely long flowering period this plant remains ornamental until end of autumn. The over 100 centimetres tall variety will decorate the front of your mansion planted singly or in larger groupings. The possibility to use dahlias in such a variety of ways is truly remarkable. Deep colours and unusual appearance of the "Soulman" variety allow you to welcome a true rarity in your garden.

Growing dahlias is not difficult. Only the excavating of the roots before the winter might be problematic for some of the gardeners. Plant them on sunny sites or in only partial shade. The access to sunlight is absolutely essential for the proper development of plants and saturated colouring of the flowers. We recommend to choose spots that are sheltered from the wind because of the tall and slender stems. Staking might be required in case of stems that cannot handle the burden of large flowers. Dahlia needs a permeable, constantly moist, nutrient-rich soil with neutral or slightly alkaline reaction. The abundantly growing and tall varieties, such as the presented Soulman should be planted 50 to 60 cm apart. Their tuberous roots should be put about 5 to 10 centimetres deep, from April to June.  They require watering during periods of drought. Do not forget to remove wilted flowers.  Dahlias react well to fertilization with manure, compost and mineral fertilizers.

Dahlia bulbs do not winter in the ground and need to be excavated in autumn. Trim down the stems first and then carefully dig out the roots. Place them in open boxes that should be kept in a dry room with a stable temperature within the 2 to 4°C range. To ensure better wintering conditions, you may cover the rootstocks with sand or peat. If you notice a significant drop in firmness and wrinkles on the surface of the roots, you may wet them sparsely with water.
