Fertilizing

High-potash dahlia feed every two weeks from growth to flowering

Pruning

Deadhead to prolong flowering. Cut back to near ground level in the autumn

Propagation

Propagate by softwood cuttings, taken in spring from shoots from stored tubers, or by division, ensuring each tuber has at least one viable bud

Growing

Grow in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil, in full sun. Pinch out growing tips to encourage bushy plants. Plants will need support, see staking perennials. Water freely in dry periods. Lift and store tubers in autumn, particularly in heavy soils, or mulch well to protect from frosts. See dahlia cultivation for more advice
