Growing Tips for South African Gardens 🌿

Soil: Plant in rich, well-draining soil. If your soil has a high clay content, improve it with compost and a little sand. Mulch to retain moisture and regulate root temperature.

Sunlight: Loves full sun. In very hot inland regions, provide light midday shade to reduce stress.

Planting:

• Time: October – December.

• Depth: 8 cm deep with tubers facing downwards.

• Spacing: 25–40 cm apart for healthy airflow.

Watering: Deep soak every 3–4 days for around 10 minutes. Adjust frequency during extreme heat.

Feeding: Use a balanced bulb fertiliser, such as Hadeco Bulb Food, to encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering.

Care & Maintenance:

• Stake taller stems to prevent drooping.

• Pinch back shoots to encourage bushiness.

• Remove side buds to enhance the size of main flowers.

• Discard plants that show mottled or stunted foliage.

Dormancy & Lifting: From May to August, dahlias go dormant. In July, cut stems back to 5 cm above the ground, lift tubers, and store them in a cool, dry place until replanting season.

Bring the Deepest Yellow Pompon Dahlia into your garden and enjoy a glowing display that captures the warmth of the sun all summer long. 🌞
