Description: A neat, small-flowered dahlia the perfect size for hand-tied bunches and mixed arrangements.Dahlias are stars of the garden borders providing a dazzling show of color and are just perfect for the allotment to provide a never-ending supply of cut flowers, lasting well in the vase.Bloom Size: 2-3"Bloom Style: Pompon/Ball-shapePlant Height: 4'Sun: Full SunUSDA Zones: 3-10. Lift in Fall in zones 3-8Soil Requirement: Well drainedDEER RESISTANTTips for SuccessChoose a sunny spot. Dahlias bloom best in full sun.To give your dahlias the best possible start, enrich the soil with compost or rotted manure, and an all purpose (5-5-5) granular fertilizer.Position the tubers in the hole so the stem, where the tubers are joined, is upright.Sprouts will develop just above where the tubers join the stem. This junction should be planted no more than 1-2" below the soil surface.Once your dahlias are 8-10" tall, begin fertilizing them with an all-purpose liquid fertilizer every 3 to 4 weeks.Pinching dahlias when they are about 10" tall will give you a bushier plant with more flowers.When the first flower buds appear, reduce 2 or 3 of the tallest stems to half their height. This will encourage the plant to produce longer stems.Growing Dahlias in ContainersDahlias can be great plants for pots and planters. You can combine them with other plants, but most gardeners find they grow best on their own.Border dahlias may be grown in relatively small pots with a minimum of width and depth of 12". Full size dahlias need a large container that's a minimum of 18" deep and 18" wide. The bigger the better.Fertilize your container-grown dahlias every few weeks (or apply a time-release fertilizer). Always water deeply to ensure the entire root ball gets a good drink. This may be a daily task from midsummer on.
