Dahlias are August flowers that last until the first frost. They come in colors like pink, red, white, orange, burgundy, or yellow. They are weather-resistant flowers (cold, frost, rain) and offer a unique color palette to your garden.
Open Gallery Dahlias are perennial plants, native to Mexico. Depending on the species, Dahlia can reach a height of 1.5 - 2 meters. The most common species are Dahlia Variabilis, Dahlia Imperialis, and Dahlia Coccinea. They adapt easily, so they can be successfully used in any garden, being undemanding and beautifying it with its varied chromatic palette.
Something unique about this magnificent plant: it is beneficial for people suffering from allergies. It is important to have at least one dahlia bush in the yard and then in a vase inside.
They prefer fertile soil, but they can grow almost anywhere. They love the sun very much, so you can plant them in the middle of the garden. They also do well in shadier spots. They are planted from May to early July. Late planting will make them last longer and have more flowers. Even after the other flowers in the yard have wilted, the dahlia continues to bloom.
Even though the flowers are not demanding, it is advisable that the soil be well-drained and they need fertilizer, but well-dosed and at a distance from the stem. Dahlias prefer acidic fertilizers, not those with nitrogen which stimulate leaves, not flowers. It is important not to overcrowd the plants.
joy these special flowers by bringing them into your home or giving them away with love!
