Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant out only after the last frosts (in Estonia usually early June) in a sunny, sheltered spot in fertile, well-drained soil. Give tall cultivars a stake at planting time.
Watering and feeding. Dahlias need even moisture — in dry weather water generously once or twice a week. Feed every two weeks during flowering with a potassium-rich flower fertiliser.
Care. Deadhead regularly and new buds will keep coming until autumn. Tie the stems to the stake so wind and rain do not break them.
Overwintering. Dahlias are not frost hardy. After the first frost cut the stems to 10–15 cm, lift the tubers, let them dry and store frost-free and cool (+3…+8 °C) over winter. In April the tubers can be potted up and started indoors.
