Dahlias are the kings of the summer and autumn garden and are known for their spectacular flowers in a wide range of colours, shapes and sizes. With their vibrant appearance and long flowering period, dahlias are an indispensable addition to any garden. Whether you choose a romantic border, a playful pot on the patio or a striking cut flower garden, dahlias steal the show everywhere.

Care of Dahlia Flower Bulbs


Dahlias are easy to care for, as long as you provide them with the right conditions. Follow these steps to make your dahlias grow optimally:

1. Planting time: Plant the tubers in spring (March-May), after the risk of frost has passed.

2. Planting depth: Place the tubers approximately 5-10 cm deep, with the 'eye' (the growth bud) facing upwards.

3. Location: Place dahlias in a sunny spot for best flowering results.

4. Soil: Choose well-draining soil, enriched with compost or organic fertilizer.

5. Support: Tall dahlias benefit from a stake or wire to keep them upright.

6. Water: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid wet feet.


Dahlia Uses in the Garden


Dahlias are versatile and fit into any garden design:

• In borders: Combine with ornamental grasses, perennials or other summer bloomers for a dynamic effect.

• In pots: Compact dahlias are ideal for patios and balconies.

• As cut flowers: Dahlias are popular as cut flowers because of their long shelf life and rich colours.

• In mixed flower beds: Create an explosion of colour by planting different dahlia varieties together.
