    Orange and Yellow DahliasPink Dhalias and PlantSpectacular, this is the word I would use to describe dahlias. They will give you wonderful cut flowers all summer up until the first frost. They originate from Mexico, Central and South America and were transported to Europe during the 16th century. This tuberous perennial has numerous varieties, rich with amazing colors. Some people are intimidated by the care that dahlias require, but I feel that any garden takes care. The flowers are so amazing with an incredible amount of variety whatever care they need is worth it.

    The tubers need to be stored in a cool, dry, and dark environment. The frost will turn them to mush; dig up the tuber before the frost comes. Dahlias can be stored in different materials: paper bags, peat moss, vermiculite, and many more. Find out what works for you, I use paper bags or recycled paper. Keep them dormant until the last frost has is over.

    Growing Tips:

    Plant the tubers after the last frost and in a full sun environment. Dahlias love their faces in the sun and will grow fast in the sun. Plant the tuber about 6″ into the soil and don’t worry too much about the direction the tuber is in. Dahlias will grow up towards the sun. Slugs, snail, and pests love to eat Dahlias sprinkle snail bait on the soil. When the Dahlias are growing make sure there is an adequate about of snail bait. I use “Slugo” because it is great if you have pets. Other wise you can use the hard core stuff. Keep them watered, but don’t over water. They can do well on less water, but will rot if over watered. Add fertilizers to the soil before you plant and keep the nitrogen level low. If you are going to stake them which is recommended do this before they grow. It is always great to establish the support before they get too big. Remove the finished blossoms throughout the season to ensure lots of blossoms.
