Description
‘Rose’ is a sister of the famous ‘Cafe au Lait’ dahlia. It’s the same flower style, and blooms a more medium pink that is solid in color. Shorter plant at 3′, with strong stems that hold the large 8″ flower upright. Stands out in the garden with nice foliage as well. Moderate tuber producer.
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
