Growing Tips for South African Gardens 🌿

Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil. For clay-heavy areas, enrich with compost and sand. Mulch to conserve moisture and protect the tubers.

Sunlight: Loves full sun. In hotter inland regions, a touch of midday shade helps reduce stress.

Planting:

  • Time: October – December.

  • Depth: 8 cm deep with tubers pointing downwards.

  • Spacing: 25–40 cm apart for good airflow.

Watering: Water deeply every 3–4 days for about 10 minutes. Adjust frequency during very hot spells.

Feeding: Apply a balanced bulb fertiliser (like Hadeco Bulb Food) to boost strong growth and abundant flowering.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Stake taller stems if needed.

  • Pinch back shoots to encourage bushy growth.

  • Thin side buds to maximise the size of main blooms.

  • Remove any plants showing mottled or stunted foliage.

Dormancy & Lifting: Dahlias rest between May and August. In July, cut stems back to 5 cm, lift tubers, and store them in a cool, dry spot until replanting.

Bring home the Amusing Pompon Dahlia and let its golden globes of sunshine add warmth and laughter to your garden all season long. 🌼
