How to plant Totally Tangerine Dahlia Tubers

  • Select a sun-soaked spot for your dahlia tubers, allowing the vibrant hues to dance under the summer sun. Full sun is the key to unlocking the full citrusy potential of these summer wonders.
  • Gently nestle the tubers in the soil with the eyes facing upward, planting them 15cm deep. Deep enough to not force the tuber parts but allows the neck to sit at the surface. Create room to grow with generous spacing between tubers, giving each bloom the space to twirl in its citrus tango.
  • Enrich your soil with organic matter, crafting a fertile foundation that complements Totally Tangerine Dahlia's preference for slightly acidic to neutral soil. Nurture the soil, and it will reciprocate with a vibrant dance of blooms.
  • Maintain a careful balance of moisture, avoiding soggy soil. Dahlias are thirsty. Consistent, deep watering during dry spells ensures robust root development, setting the stage for a lively summer spectacle. however, tubers can rot in very wet soil so make sure your soil has good drainage.
