Growing Tips for South African Conditions 🌱

Soil: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil. Add compost and sand if your garden has heavy clay. Mulch helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

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

Planting:

  • Season: October – December.

  • Depth: 8 cm deep, with tubers pointing downward.

  • Spacing: 20–30 cm apart for bold borders.

Watering: Water deeply every 3–4 days, around 10 minutes each session. Avoid waterlogging to prevent tuber rot.

Feeding: Regular feeding with Hadeco Bulb Food keeps flowers large and plentiful.

Care:

  • Stake taller stems if they show signs of toppling.

  • Deadhead regularly to encourage more blooms.

  • Lift tubers in July if storing, cutting stems back to 5 cm. Keep them dry and cool until replanting next season.

With its bold personality and dazzling pink starbursts, the Park Princess Dahlia is the perfect way to add royal flair to your garden. Plant it once, and it will bring excitement and colour year after year. 🌸👑
