Care Guide

Good pest and disease resistance

Dahlias can have issues with slugs, aphids capsid bugs, earwigs and powdery mildew. To defend against bacterial infections, try to maintain good garden hygiene. Space the plants out adequately to allow for good air circulation so the leaves don't become too crowded and humid. For slugs and snails, it is important to keep the area around the plant debris free and as dry as possible, especially at night, as slugs and snails love damp conditions. You can use barriers such as crushed egg shells or copper wire to surround the plant - this will prevent slugs and snails reaching the leaves. For aphids, check the leaves regularly for any possible infestation. Pick the bugs off and spray the infected area with some soapy water. You can also plant a companion plant nearby, such as Marigolds, which will attract predatory insects such as ladybirds that will eat the aphids.

Water regularly

Water well especially during hot and dry periods. It is best to water Dahlias once a week deeply. However, if the plant looks distressed during prolonged hot periods you may want to water more often.

Full sun

Dahlias should be planted somewhere they receive around 6-8 hours of direct sunlight every day.

Fertile, well-draining soil

The best soil to use is a quality potting mix or garden compost which is filled with rich organic matter and drains water away easily.

Feed regularly

Apply a general purpose feed at planting time, then from July to September feed every two weeks with a high-potash liquid fertiliser such as tomato feed. ?v=1613300718
