DAHLIA RED SKIN VARIE NT
Dahlia variabilis
The "red skin variegated" dahlia mix is a mix of dwarf dahlias with a bushy, compact habit and rich bronze foliage and large, single flowers offering multiple colors of purple, orange, bronze, garnet and brown. Perfect in bouquets, in the foreground of beds, or in pots. The dahlia appreciates rich, fresh and well-drained soil. Sowing the "red skin variegated" dahlia mix Sow under cover in trays in February-March at 20°C, burying the seeds very lightly 1.5 mm. Emergence takes place after 7 to 21 days. Then transplant the plants into fairly large pots, gradually hardening them off until transplanting them in place in a sunny location after the last frosts, spacing them 30 cm apart in all directions. Maintenance Water regularly, remove faded flowers to encourage flowering. Overwinter the tubers by pulling them up at the first frost, then drying them in a dry, cool, frost-proof place with the foliage first, then storing them in crates after cutting the stems to 10cm. Replant the tubers in spring the following year. Flowering Honey plant flowering from July to October.
