- Preparation & Usage
Dahlias flower prolifically - in the right conditions a single plant may produce up to 100 blooms. They make beautiful border plants, compact types are ideal for containers, and all are good for cutting. In addition, no special skills are required to grow them, but protect tubers from frost. Dwarf forms are used for mass-planting and are also suitable for containers.
Half hardy they need a sunny position and well-drained soil. All apart from dwarf forms require staking. After flowering, lift tubers and store in a frost-free place; replant once all frost danger has passed.
In frost-free areas, plants may be left in the ground as normal herbaceous perennials, but they benefit from regular propagation to maintain vigour. Propagate dwarf forms by seed sown under glass in late winter, others in spring by seed, basal shoot cuttings or division of tubers. Dahlias may be subject to attack by aphids, red spider mite and thrips.
In recent years, powdery mildew has become a problem in certain areas, and spraying is essential. Dahlias also succumb quickly to virus infection.
