Growing Tips for South African Conditions 🌿

Soil: Plant in well-draining soil enriched with compost. For heavy clay soils, add sand and organic matter. Mulching helps conserve moisture and cool the roots.

Sunlight: Full sun is best. In hotter regions, a touch of midday shade reduces stress.

Planting:

  • Time: October – December.

  • Depth: 8 cm deep, tubers pointed down.

  • Spacing: 30–40 cm apart for healthy airflow.

Watering: Water deeply every 3–4 days for about 10 minutes. Increase frequency in very hot weather.

Feeding: Apply a quality bulb fertiliser (e.g. Hadeco Bulb Food) regularly for strong stems and show-stopping blooms.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Stake tall plants to protect against wind.

  • Pinch back shoots for bushier growth.

  • Remove side buds if you want fewer, larger flowers.

  • Promptly remove any plants with mottled or stunted foliage.

Dormancy & Lifting: From May to August, dahlias go dormant. In July, cut stems back to 5 cm, lift tubers carefully, and store in a dry, cool place until spring.

Let the Snow Country Dahlia transform your garden into a serene sanctuary – graceful, radiant, and unforgettable. 🤍
