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.
