Dahlias are stunning flowering plants known for their vibrant and varied colors, making them a popular choice for gardens and flower arrangements. With a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes, dahlias add a touch of elegance and beauty to any space.

These perennials thrive in well-drained soil and require ample sunlight, making them relatively easy to care for.

Don't be afraid to cut off blossoming flowers for beautiful bouquets. Regular, correct cutting of dahlias gives even more abundant flowering of the bush for the whole season.

How to grow:

Dahlia tubers are planted in open ground or in a pot as soon as the danger of recurrent frosts has passed.

First, you should dig a hole 15 cm deep, then lay the tuber on its side and sprinkle it with previously dug soil.

It is not recommended to water the tubers until the first green shoots appear, as excessive watering can lead to rotting of the tubers.

Throughout the growing season, dahlias are watered depending on weather conditions, preventing the soil from drying out.
