Growing Tips for South African Conditions 🌱

Soil: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil. Improve clay-heavy soil with compost and sand. Mulching helps retain moisture during hot months.

Sunlight: Needs full sun for best blooms. A little midday shade in very hot regions will reduce stress.

Planting:

  • Season: October – December.

  • Depth: 8 cm deep, tubers pointing down.

  • Spacing: 40–60 cm apart to allow room for large flowers.

Watering: Water deeply every 3–4 days for about 10 minutes. Avoid overwatering.

Feeding: Feed regularly with Hadeco Bulb Food for continuous growth and flowering.

Care:

  • Tall stems need staking to support dinnerplate-sized flowers.

  • Deadhead spent blooms to keep flowers coming.

  • Lift tubers in July if storing for next season. Cut stems to 5 cm, dry, and store in a cool, dry place.

The White Perfection Dinnerplate Dahlia isn’t just a plant – it’s a garden spectacle. Plant it this season and enjoy show-stopping white blooms that will turn heads and uplift your garden. 🌿
