About ‘Smiling Don’ – Tubers and Flowers
Dahlia ‘Smiling Don’ is a cheerful variety known for its vibrant orange blooms with golden-yellow accents. The fully double flowers have a soft, ruffled texture that adds a touch of lightness and energy to any garden. With its striking color combination and compact growth, ‘Smiling Don’ is perfect for brightening up garden beds, borders, and containers. This dahlia blooms profusely from mid-summer to frost, offering a continuous splash of sunshine throughout the growing season.
How to Plant ‘Smiling Don’?
Plant the tubers in well-draining, fertile soil about 10–15 cm deep after the last frost. Choose a sunny location, as dahlias need full sun to thrive. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Since ‘Smiling Don’ produces vibrant, large flowers, staking the plant may be helpful to support its stems. Use a balanced fertilizer throughout the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. In colder climates, lift and store the tubers indoors over winter for replanting next year.
