Planting Dahlias & Begonias
Tips For Planting Dahlias
Dahlias are an outstanding addition to your flower border. Blooming July through fall they make excellent cut flowers.
-
Plant tubers mid-April - May when the soil is warm and danger of frost has passed.
-
Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. An area that receives at least 8 hours of direct sunlight is best.
-
If you have heavier soil add in sand or steer manure to lighten and loosen soil texture.
-
Protect from strong winds.
-
Lay tubers horizontally 4-6” deep. Space tubers 12-24” apart, then cover with soil.
-
Add Bone meal to the soil at planting time.
-
Do not water tubers until they begin to sprout.
-
Apply slug and snail bait to protect new shoots.
-
Begin to feed Dahlias with a granular fertilizer high in phosphorous and potash one month after planting. These are the last 2 numbers in a fertilizer. Bulb Food (3-15-6) or Potato food (6-20-20) are excellent choices. Repeat on a monthly basis.
-
Stake tall varieties, keep plants well-watered during warm summer months.
-
Remove spent blooms to encourage flowering.
-
Lift tubers after frost has killed the leaves. Store tubers in a box, cover with peat or vermiculite and store in a cool, dark frost-free area.
Tips for Planting Begonia Tubers
Begonias are a wonderful addition to hanging baskets and planters alike. Tolerant of part-sun locations they brighten up a shady spot.
-
Start Begonias in 4" peat pots filled halfway with starter soil mix
-
Nestle the rounded end into the starter mix so that the bottom 1/2 of the tuber is covered in soil
-
Water lightly around the tuber, avoiding the tuber itself
-
Place pots in a tray and place on a heat mat or even on top of your fridge where it's warm
-
Once the tubers have 2-3 leaves, cover the tuber with starter soil mix
-
Start to fertilize with Superbloom once every two weeks
-
Move sprouted tubers to a spot with bright indirect light
-
Plants can be gradually acclimatized for outdoor around May long-weekend
-
Once the plants are acclimated, just remove the rim of the peat pot and repot into the new container
-
Begonias grow best in the morning sun and afternoon shade
