The Most Beautiful Summer Flower Is Planted in March: It Will Adorn Your Terrace Until Late Autumn
Plant beautiful flowers in March.
TL;DR
- Dahlias are ideal for gardens from mid-summer to autumn, blooming about eight weeks after planting.
- Plant dahlias when soil temperatures consistently reach 10-15 degrees Celsius, typically after planting tomatoes.
- They require 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, preferably morning sun.
- Ideal planting spots are sunny, protected from strong winds, in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil (pH 6.0-7.5).
- Heavy or clay soil should be amended with compost for better drainage.
- Space dahlias about 90 cm apart, planting them 15-20 cm deep.
- Add compost and bone meal to the planting hole, cover with 10 cm of soil, and gradually add more as the stem grows.
- Do not water immediately after planting; wait until sprouts appear to prevent bulb rot.
- Water dahlias 2-3 times a week once established, more often in heatwaves.
- Monitor flowers after rain, as they can fill with water or be damaged by wind.
