Dahlia Felida Solar Flare
Size chart
Product Description
Dahlias are one of the most important and popular summer-flowering bulbs. They are widely cultivated due to their vast range of colours and flower types. Dahlias are perfect for borders and containers. There are tens of thousands of dahlia varieties – plenty of choice. The flower size varies from the diameter of a ping pong ball to that of a soccer ball. They bloom from August until the first night frost.
Most of them will perform well along with annual plants because of their long flowering period. Dahlias are not winter-hardy and cannot tolerate frost.
Plant outdoors only after the last spring ground frost. In fall, dig up the tubers and bring them inside before the first fall ground frost.

How to Plant
Guide and tips for planting Dahlia Bulbs and Tubers
-
Choose the planting location: Dahlia plants prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Avoid planting in areas with standing water or where the soil remains soggy after rainfall.
-
Prepare the soil: Loosen the soil and remove any weeds or debris from the planting area. Amend the soil with compost or organic matter to improve the soil's fertility and drainage.
-
Plant the bulbs or tubers: Dig a hole that is about 12-16 cm deep and place the Dahlia bulb or tuber with the "eyes" facing up. If planting multiple bulbs, space them at least 24-36 cm apart.
-
Cover the bulbs or tubers: Cover the Dahlia bulbs or tubers with soil and gently press down to remove air pockets. Make sure the soil level is even with the surrounding soil.
-
Water the bulbs or tubers: Give the bulbs or tubers a thorough watering after planting to settle the soil around them. Dahlia plants prefer consistently moist soil, so water them regularly, but avoid over-watering as this can cause rot.
-
Stake the plants: Depending on the variety and size of Dahlia plants, they may need to be staked for support. Insert stakes into the ground near the bulbs or tubers before they start growing to avoid damaging the plant later on.
-
Monitor the bulbs or tubers: Dahlia bulbs or tubers typically take about 2-3 weeks to emerge from the soil, so be patient. Once they emerge, water and fertilize regularly to encourage healthy growth. Dahlia plants can bloom in mid to late summer and may require occasional fertilization throughout the growing season.
