🌼 Product Description
Dahlia Seeds, also known as Sunburst Dahlia, Rainbow Pompon Dahlia, or Garden Fireworks Flower, grow into show-stopping blooms that bring bold color and texture to any garden. With layers of perfectly symmetrical petals in a dazzling range of hues—from soft pastels to vibrant reds, yellows, purples, and bicolors—these beloved perennials are the stars of borders, cutting gardens, and floral arrangements.
Dahlias bloom continuously from midsummer until the first frost, creating a long-lasting spectacle that attracts butterflies and admiration alike. Whether grown in flower beds, pots, or raised planters, Dahlia plants transform your outdoor space into a floral showcase.
☀️ Growth Characteristics
-
Light Requirements: 🌞 Full sun (6–8 hours/day) is essential for vigorous growth and abundant blooms.
-
Temperature Tolerance: 🌡️ Best in mild climates; hardy in USDA Zones 8–11. In cooler regions, lift tubers after the season ends.
-
Soil Needs: 🌱 Well-draining, slightly acidic soil enriched with compost or organic matter is ideal.
-
Watering: 💧 Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent root rot.
-
Bloom Cycle: 🌸 Blooms from midsummer through fall. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooming.
🌱 Planting & Care Instructions
-
Start Indoors or Sow Outdoors: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors in late spring.
-
Germination: Seeds germinate in 7–14 days in warm (18–22°C / 65–72°F), moist conditions.
-
Transplanting: Once seedlings develop true leaves and the threat of frost has passed, transplant to sunny, well-prepared beds or containers.
-
Feeding: Apply a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds appear. Too much nitrogen can reduce flowering.
-
Support: Tall varieties may need staking for support as blooms can be large and heavy.
