How to plant karma dahlia tubers
Planting karma dahlia tubers is a straightforward process that will reward you with vibrant, long-lasting blooms. Follow these steps to ensure your karma dahlias thrive in your garden.
Choose the right location: Karma dahlias love sunlight, so choose a sunny spot that gets at least 6 hours of direct light each day. Well-drained soil is essential, as these tubers dislike sitting in waterlogged soil.
Prepare the soil: Dig to a depth of around 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) and loosen the soil. Enrich it with compost or well-rotted manure to improve drainage and provide the nutrients the dahlias need to grow strong and healthy. If your soil is heavy, adding some grit can help improve drainage.
Plant the tubers: Place the tuber horizontally with the growing eye or bud facing upwards. Cover it with about 10 cm (4 inches) of soil. Space each tuber 30-60 cm (12-24 inches) apart to allow the plants plenty of room to spread and grow.
Water well: After planting, water the area thoroughly to settle the soil around the tubers. dahlias prefer regular watering, especially during dry periods, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause the tubers to rot.
Support your plants: As karma dahlias can grow tall, it’s a good idea to add stakes or supports at planting time to help keep the stems upright as they grow. This will prevent the plants from bending or snapping in windy conditions.
By following these simple steps, your karma dahlias will produce healthy, strong plants that provide a stunning display of colourful blooms throughout the summer and into autumn.
