Plant Care & Growing Tips

Growing beautiful dahlias from our lowrider dahlia mix is a rewarding experience that requires attention to a few key details. Dahlias thrive in full sun, meaning they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce the most abundant blooms. Choose a location in your garden that receives ample morning sun, as this helps to dry dew from the leaves and prevent fungal diseases. Good air circulation is also beneficial. For soil, dahlias prefer well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.5-7.0). Amending your garden beds with compost or other organic matter before planting will provide essential nutrients and improve soil structure.

When it comes to watering, consistency is key. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells and when plants are actively growing and flowering. Deep watering encourages strong root development. Avoid overhead watering if possible, as wet foliage can lead to fungal issues; instead, water at the base of the plant. Fertilize your dahlias every 3-4 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer or one slightly higher in phosphorus and potassium to encourage blooming, once the plants are established. Pinching back young plants when they are about 12 inches tall can encourage bushier growth and more flowers. Support taller varieties with stakes to prevent stems from breaking under the weight of their blooms.

Dahlias are tender perennials, typically grown as annuals in colder climates. They are sensitive to frost, so plant your heirloom dahlia seeds after all danger of frost has passed in spring. In USDA zones where dahlias are perennial, tubers can be left in the ground over winter, but in colder zones, they are usually dug up and stored indoors. Monitor your plants for common pests like aphids and slugs, and treat them promptly with organic pest control methods if necessary. Proper spacing between plants (18-24 inches) ensures good air circulation and reduces disease risk, contributing to a healthy and vibrant display of pollinator friendly flowers.
