Growing Tips for South African Gardens 🌱

Soil: Plant in rich, well-draining soil. If your soil is clay-heavy, amend with compost and sand. Mulching helps retain moisture during hot spells.

Sunlight: Full sun is ideal. In very hot inland regions, light midday shade prevents stress and keeps blooms fresh.

Planting:

  • Season: October – December.

  • Depth: 8 cm, placed horizontally.

  • Spacing: 25–40 cm for bushy terrace growth.

Watering: Water deeply every 3–4 days. Keep soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering.

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

Care:

  • Pinch back tips early to encourage more branching.

  • Remove spent flowers to extend blooming.

  • Light staking may help in windy spots.

  • Lift tubers in July, cut stems to 5 cm, and store in a dry, cool space until the next planting season.

Add the Rumba Terrace Dahlia to your collection and let your garden burst into a carnival of colour and movement. A true performer that never disappoints!
