Growing
•Pinch shoot tips twice to encourage fullness, first after 2 or 3 sets of leaves have developed, and again after a few weeks.
•These bulbs like a lot of water.
•Dahlias love to be fed. Fertilize your Dahlia regularly.
Taking Care
•Dahlias will bloom the entire summer.
•Remove all spent flowers with clippers to boost further flower production. The more you cut, the more they bloom.
•Stake taller varieties.
•After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.
