Our Dahlia Journey
Nestled adjacent to tall Karri tree bushland in south-west WA, our cool climate and nutrient-rich soils allow us to nurture a popular range of dahlias, providing a burst of vibrant colours for every occasion. Working within the bounds of quarantine requirements, we have collaborated with established growers to bring more dahlias to Western Australia
Your Guide to Growing Beautiful Dahlias
-
Tubers should be planted when the soil has warmed in early Spring. The soil should be slightly moist
-
If using stakes, put them in prior to planting tubers to avoid damaging tubers
-
Plant tubers 10cm deep and 40cm apart
-
Lay tuber horizontally in prepared hole with shoot pointing up, cover with soil
-
No need to water initially
-
Lightly water a couple of weeks after planting if the soil is dry
-
Once shoots have emerged, water as required (2-3/wk)
-
At 6 leaf stage pinch growing tip off to encourage lateral shoots
