Plant Care & Growing Tips

Ensuring the health and vitality of your dahlia live plants is straightforward with the right approach to dahlia plant care. Dahlias thrive in specific conditions that encourage abundant and beautiful blooms. When planting, choose a site that receives at least 6 hours of full sun per day. Adequate sunlight is crucial for vigorous growth and prolific flowering. Space your dahlia plants 12-14 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth, which also helps prevent diseases like powdery mildew. Good airflow is essential for maintaining healthy dahlia plants.

Dahlias prefer well-drained soil with a pH between 5.8 and 6.2. If you have heavy clay soil, amend it with compost to improve drainage and nutrient availability. Water your dahlias regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged, as overwatering can lead to root rot. To encourage continuous blooming, deadhead spent flowers or cut blooms frequently. For best results, plant one rooted liner per 6-inch or gallon container. After transplanting, provide 6+ hours of full sun for 3-4 weeks and pinch once to promote bushier growth. Feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 15-5-15) at 100-150 ppm as needed to support robust growth and vibrant multicolor dahlia blooms. Protecting your plants from pests and diseases is a key aspect of effective dahlia plant care.

For those in cooler climates, dahlias are typically grown as annuals or the tubers can be dug up and stored over winter. In warmer USDA zones, they can often be left in the ground. Rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted into their final container. If you plan to use them in a landscape application, it’s recommended to establish them in a 4" to 6" pot before planting outdoors. Following these guidelines will help ensure your dahlia live plants produce stunning cut flower dahlia arrangements throughout the season.
