Description
A la Mode is a soft orange dahlia with a white edge. One of our best tuber and cut flower producers and a reliable plant in the garden. A dahlia we’ve grown since the beginning of The Dahlia Barn. Gives us so many tubers and cut flowers.
Growers Notes:
- Dahlias are planted in spring after the soil has warmed up to 60 degrees
- Plant around the same time you would plant tomato plants and other warm season crops
- Plant dahlia tubers in an area that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight per day
- Wet Climates: No extra water until sprout is 5”-6” tall, normal spring rains will give the soil and your tubers all the moisture it needs. Tubers will rot in soggy soils.
- Dry Climates: Your tubers need moisture in the soil to grow. If your soil is dry during the spring, water lightly once a week to add and retain moisture in the soil
- After the dahlia sprout is 6”, deep soak every 2-3 days
