Dahlias sport happy, long-lasting blooms atop strong stems from spring until frost.
| Dahlia Dahlietta®
(Dahlia xhybrida Dahlietta®)ANNUAL • SUN TO PART SHADE - Height: 8 to 10 inches
- Spacing: 9 to 12 inches
These dwarf dahlias come in many shades. The tidy, upright, mounding plants hold bright double blossoms that brighten containers and are ideal for borders. They are especially nice in combination with fine, bright green foliage such as asparagus fern. Plant in rich, well-drained soil. Keep soil moist and feed monthly. In cool climates, plant in spring after danger of frost is past. Extra phosphorous fertilizer will help develop strong stems, especially in warm climates where the plants can come back next year if the soil drains well. |
