I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Dahlia Gallery 'Leonardo' (Ships in Spring)

Dahlia

Dahlia 'Leonardo' is a compact decorative variety with profuse salmon-pink blooms, each accented with a touch of yellow at the petal base. The flowers, reaching about 5 inches across, stand out against dark green foliage, creating a vibrant display. Growing up to 14 inches tall, it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil, making it ideal for beds, borders, patios, and containers. Blooming from midsummer until frost, it provides continuous color throughout the season. Hardy in USDA zones 8 to 11, tubers should be lifted and stored in colder climates. A recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit, it’s a standout for compact spaces and long-lasting floral impact.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Dahlia Gallery 'Leonardo' (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 12 to 18 inches apart—Gallery dahlias are compact, making them ideal for containers and small garden spaces.
Location: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) is best. In hot climates, light afternoon shade helps prevent stress.
Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or aged manure before planting.
Watering: Water deeply once or twice a week, keeping soil evenly moist but not soggy. Avoid watering until shoots emerge to prevent rot.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 8–10. In colder zones, lift tubers after frost and store in a cool, dry place.
Fertilization: Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced or low-nitrogen fertilizer. Too much nitrogen can reduce flowering.
Pruning: Pinch back when plants reach 8–10 inches tall to encourage bushiness. Deadhead regularly to extend bloom time.
Pest & Disease: Watch for aphids, slugs, and powdery mildew. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
Propagation: Divide tubers in spring, ensuring each has at least one viable eye.
