Dahlia Assorted - Shrubs & Trees - Garden View Nursery

• Native to Mexico and Central America, dahlias were cultivated by the Aztecs and introduced to Europe in the 18th century
• Available in over 14 different flower forms from simple singles to complex cactus types with spiky petals
• Tubers can be lifted and stored over winter in frost-prone areas, then replanted the following spring
• Range in size from compact 30cm bedding varieties to giant exhibition types reaching 2 metres tall
• Beloved by gardeners for their long flowering season and incredible colour range including bi-colours and unusual green varieties

• Water deeply 2-3 times per week during active growth, reducing frequency in cooler weather and avoiding water on foliage
• Plant in full sun position with morning sun essential - afternoon shade acceptable in hot Australian climates
• Use rich, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter and ensure pH between 6.0-7.0
• Feed fortnightly with balanced liquid fertiliser during growing season, switching to high-potassium feed when buds form
• Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and cut back to ground level after first frost
• In frost-prone areas, lift tubers after foliage dies back and store in cool, dry place over winter

• Plant in full sun with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best flowering and strong stem development
• Water deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent tuber rot
• Provide rich, well-draining soil amended with compost and maintain consistent moisture during active growth
• Stake tall varieties early in the season to prevent wind damage and support heavy flower heads
• Pinch growing tips when plants reach 30cm to encourage bushier growth and more flowers

• Aphids cluster on new growth and flower buds - spray with insecticidal soap or encourage beneficial insects like ladybirds
• Powdery mildew appears as white dusty coating on leaves in humid conditions - improve air circulation and avoid overhead watering
• Slugs and snails damage young shoots and flowers - use copper barriers, beer traps, or pet-safe pellets
• Crown rot occurs from waterlogged soil - ensure excellent drainage and avoid watering the crown directly
• Thrips cause silvery streaks on petals - use blue sticky traps and beneficial predatory mites

faq

How often should I water Dahlia Assorted?

Dahlia Assorted should be watered 2-3 times per week during active growth. Water deeply at soil level rather than overhead to prevent fungal issues. Reduce watering frequency in cooler weather and ensure soil drains well to prevent tuber rot.

Is Dahlia Assorted safe for pets?

Yes, Dahlia Assorted is safe for pets including cats and dogs. These colourful flowers are non-toxic and won't cause harm if pets nibble on them occasionally. Shop Pet Safe Plants from Garden View Nursery.

How fast does Dahlia Assorted grow?

Dahlia Assorted grows at a moderate to fast rate, reaching full size within one growing season. Growth speed depends on variety, soil quality, sunlight, and regular feeding. Compact varieties establish quickly while larger types take longer to reach maturity.

Does Dahlia Assorted prefer full sun or shade?

Dahlia Assorted prefers full sun with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. In hot Australian climates, some afternoon shade is beneficial to prevent heat stress. Morning sun is essential for strong growth and abundant flowering.

How big does Dahlia Assorted get?

Dahlia Assorted size varies greatly from 30cm compact varieties to 2-metre tall exhibition types. Most common garden varieties reach 60-120cm tall and wide. Regular pinching and deadheading help manage size and encourage bushier, more compact growth.

Why is my Dahlia Assorted dying?

The most common cause of dying Dahlia Assorted is overwatering leading to tuber rot. Other causes include insufficient sunlight, poor drainage, pest damage, or fungal diseases. Talk to Our Plant Experts at Garden View Nursery for personalised help.

Can I grow Dahlia Assorted in a pot?

Yes, Dahlia Assorted grows excellently in pots with good drainage. Choose containers at least 40cm wide for most varieties and use quality potting mix. Ensure drainage holes prevent waterlogging and stake tall varieties. Shop Pots & Planters at Garden View Nursery.
