CARE
Choose a sunny place for the Dahlia, it is the one that handles the most, it also prefers moist and clayey soil, rich in organic substance and well drained. The dahlia plant grown in the ground is satisfied with the rains but in periods of prolonged drought and in summer it needs regular and daily watering. In autumn and winter, however, suspend watering completely to avoid the rot of the tubers that will now be in vegetative rest. In spring, before the vegetative restart and then periodically, give a specific fertilizer for green and flowering plants.
When the seedlings reach 15-20 cm in height, you can proceed with a light topping by removing the apex above the last couple of leaves. This intervention will favor the basal thickening, the formation of new tufts and the production of a greater quantity of flowers.
Dahlia plants pair well with numerous perennials, such as Verbena or. With other bulbs such as liliim.
