How do I plant dahlia tubers purchased from Magnolia Ranch Estate?Planting dahlia tubers from Magnolia Ranch Estate is straightforward. Follow these steps for best results: Choose the Right Location: Dahlias thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, so select a spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Prepare the Soil: Dahlias prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.5-7.0). Work in compost or well-rotted manure to enrich the soil and improve drainage. Planting Time: Wait until after the last frost, when the soil temperature is around 60°F (15°C). In most regions, this is typically around late April to early May. Spacing and Depth: Dig a hole about 6-8 inches deep. Place the tuber in the hole with the "eye" (small dormant growth) facing upwards. Space multiple tubers about 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper growth. Watering: Water the tuber thoroughly after planting, but avoid over-watering. Dahlias prefer consistent moisture but are susceptible to rot if left in soggy conditions. Support: As dahlias grow, they can become top-heavy. Insert a stake at the time of planting to support the plant as it matures. Maintenance: Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer, but avoid high nitrogen content as this promotes leafy growth at the expense of blooms. By following these steps, you can ensure healthy, vibrant dahlias that will enhance your garden. For any further questions or personalized advice, please do not hesitate to contact our experts at Magnolia Ranch Estate.
