FAQ about Dahlia – Red
What kind of soil suits dahlias best?
Dahlias grow best in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. The soil must drain freely, as standing water rots the tubers. Dig in compost before planting, and plant out only once the risk of frost has passed.
How often should dahlias be watered?
Water deeply once or twice a week rather than little and often, and more in hot, dry weather. Water in the morning at the base of the plant to reduce the risk of fungal disease.
How should dahlias be pruned for the best flowering?
Deadhead regularly to encourage new flowers. Pinch out the growing tip when the plant is 20-30 cm tall for a bushier habit. For larger blooms, remove the side buds and let the main bud develop.
Which pests and diseases affect dahlias most often?
Slugs, aphids and earwigs are common pests, and slugs are especially fond of the young shoots. Powdery mildew and grey mould can appear in damp weather with poor air circulation. Space the plants well, keep the leaves dry and check them regularly.
How do I store dahlia tubers over winter?
Dahlias are not frost-hardy. Lift the tubers once the first frost has blackened the foliage, cut the stems back to 10-15 cm and leave them to dry for a few days. Store them in dry compost, sand or newspaper in a cool, frost-free place at about 5-10°C, and check now and then for rot. In mild, free-draining gardens some gardeners leave them in the ground under a thick mulch.
