Plant tubers in well-drained soil in full sun. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering to prevent tuber rot. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and flowering. Stake taller varieties to support heavy blooms. Dig up tubers in fall after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place for winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #1f2124;\"\u003eImages Courtesy Of Ball Horticultural Company \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eof Ball Seed or \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ballseed.com\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ewww.ballseed.com\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"6\" Pot \/ Cafe au Lait","offer_id":46852457005193,"sku":"G09700","price":9.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" Pot \/ Electro Pink","offer_id":42269060038793,"sku":"G09700","price":9.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3576\/1033\/files\/Dahlia-Electro-Pink_Pot_on_Sweep.jpg?v=1748270174","url":"https:\/\/www.scottsnurseryonline.com\/products\/dahlia","provider":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.
