Apple Blossom Dahlia

Apple Blossom dahlia has charming pink and yellow Collarette form dahlia with 5-inch blooms that blend soft rose tones with sunny yellow accents. Grows to 4 feet tall, creating a striking vertical element in garden beds and borders. The unique two-tone petals make these flowers highly sought after for cutting and floral design. Plant in full sun and well-draining soil for vibrant color and abundant blooms throughout the season. How To Plant Dahlias To get your dahlias started, pick a sunny spot with soil that drains well. Dig a hole, lay the tuber flat, and cover it with soil about 3 inches deep. Hold off on watering for now. Once you spot some sprouts and a few leaves, it’s time to water, but keep it gentle to prevent root rot. It’s a smart to put the stake next to the tuber at the same time of planting, so you don’t accidentally damage it later on. As the season goes on, give your dahlias some love with fertilizer and insect sprays to help them bloom beautifully and grow strong. In the fall, dig up the roots and store them over winter.
