Dahlia Flower Bulb Pack of 2 Bulbs small size

Dahlia Flower Bulb are beautiful flowering plants that grow from tuberous roots, often referred to as bulbs, although they are technically not true bulbs. Dahlias belong to the genus Dahlia and are native to Mexico. They are known for their vibrant and diverse range of flower colors, shapes, and sizes, making them a popular choice for gardens and floral arrangements.

Here are some key points about growing dahlias from tubers:

1. Tubers: Dahlias are grown from tubers, which are underground storage structures. These tubers should be planted in the spring after the threat of frost has passed, typically when the soil has warmed up.
2. Planting Depth: Plant the tubers about 4-6 inches deep in well-draining soil with good organic matter. Space them apart according to the specific variety, usually around 18-24 inches apart.
3. Location: Choose a sunny location for your dahlia plants, as they require at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and flowering.
4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Dahlias appreciate regular watering, especially during dry spells.
5. Fertilization: Fertilize your dahlias with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer when you plant them and then every 4-6 weeks throughout the growing season.
6. Support: Depending on the variety, dahlias can grow quite tall and may require staking or support to prevent them from flopping over.
7. Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season. This process is known as deadheading.
8. Overwintering: In regions with cold winters, dahlias may not survive outdoors. You can dig up the tubers in the fall after the first frost, let them dry, and store them in a cool, dry place for the winter. Replant them in the spring.
