Growing Tips for South African Gardens 🌱

Soil: Plant in well-draining soil with added compost. Improve heavy clay with sand and organic matter. Mulch helps retain moisture during hot spells.

Sunlight: Full sun brings out the richest colours. In very hot inland areas, a little midday shade reduces stress.

Planting:

  • Season: October – December.

  • Depth: 8 cm deep with tubers positioned horizontally.

  • Spacing: 30–40 cm apart – perfect for terrace planting.

Watering: Water deeply every 3–4 days. Avoid overwatering, as dahlias dislike soggy soil.

Feeding: Apply Hadeco Bulb Food regularly to fuel healthy growth and more blooms.

Care:

  • Pinch back young shoots for bushier plants.

  • Remove faded flowers to encourage fresh blooms.

  • Provide support if stems lean under heavy blooms.

  • In July, lift tubers, cut stems back to 5 cm, and store in a dry spot until the next season.

Bring the rhythm of the Tango Terrace Dahlia into your garden and enjoy a lively display of colour all summer long.
