Growing Tips for South African Gardens 🌿

Soil: Dahlias prefer rich, free-draining soil. In clay soils, improve texture by mixing in sand and compost. Mulching helps keep roots cool and moist.

Sunlight: Loves full sun but will appreciate a little midday shade in very hot inland areas.

Planting:

  • Time: October – December.

  • Depth: 8 cm, with tubers pointing downwards.

  • Spacing: 20–30 cm apart for a lush but tidy display.

Watering: Water deeply every 3–4 days for about 10 minutes. Avoid soggy soil as tubers may rot.

Feeding: Use a balanced fertiliser like Hadeco Bulb Food to keep the blooms coming.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers.

  • Cut back yellowing foliage at the end of the season.

  • Lift tubers in July for storage if you want to replant stronger bulbs next spring.

With their sunny yellow faces and easy-care nature, Yellow Topmix Dahlias bring a burst of happiness to any garden. Plant them once and enjoy months of effortless beauty. 🌼
