An attractive mixture with the original cactus-shaped structure of the flower inflorescence - during the rain, the head bends down and does not accumulate water between the petals. Dahlias of this class bloom longer and have a more aesthetic shape. When planting a tuber, it needs to germinate for about a month to get a strong sprout. Planting holes are placed at a distance of 60 cm from each other. Subsequently, the plant requires mandatory support, which will slightly change its decorative effect. For bright, lush, and long flowering, you will need loose, fertile soil and moderate moisture. As the bush grows, the frequency of fertilization and the volume of water increases. All summer and autumn, the fading caps of inflorescences are carefully removed, stimulating the appearance of lateral processes with numerous buds. Dahlias do not overwinter in the open ground - after the first frost, they must be dug out of the land after cutting off the lashes and placed in the basement for the winter.
