Growing Tips for South African Gardens 🌱

Soil: Use rich, well-draining soil. If your soil is clay-heavy, mix in compost and sand for better drainage. Mulch to lock in moisture during hot days.

Sunlight: Prefers full sun. In very hot inland regions, light midday shade will keep plants cool and blooming longer.

Planting:

  • Season: October – December.

  • Depth: Plant tubers 8 cm deep, lying horizontally.

  • Spacing: 30–40 cm apart – ideal for compact planting.

Watering: Water deeply every 3–4 days. Avoid overwatering – dahlias prefer moist but not soggy soil.

Feeding: A boost of Hadeco Bulb Food every few weeks encourages lush growth and a flush of blooms.

Care:

  • Pinch back early growth for bushier plants.

  • Remove spent blooms to extend flowering.

  • Taller stems may need gentle staking.

  • Lift tubers in July, cut stems to 5 cm, and store dry until spring.
