Growing and Maintenance Tips for Dahlia Collarette 'Pooh Swan Island' (Ships in Spring)
Planting: In spring, plant tubers 3 to 4 inches deep with the eye facing up, once soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Space 18 to 24 inches apart to allow for airflow and mature spread.
Location: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) is essential for strong stems and vibrant blooms.
Soil: Well-drained, fertile loam with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or well-rotted manure before planting.
Watering: Water deeply 1–2 times per week, keeping soil evenly moist but not soggy. Mulch helps retain moisture and regulate temperature.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 8–10. In colder zones, lift tubers after frost and store in a cool, dry place.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) monthly or use a slow-release formula. Avoid high-nitrogen feeds.
Pruning: Pinch back when plants reach 12 inches tall to encourage bushiness. Deadhead regularly to prolong bloom.
Pest & Disease: Watch for aphids, slugs, and fungal issues. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
Propagation: Divide tubers in spring, ensuring each has at least one viable eye.
