Each order contains 50 pieces of Dahlia seeds.
Species and varieties: Dahlias belong to the Asteraceae family and are native to Mexico. The 'Flame' variety is known for its vibrant, fiery red and orange blooms. Dahlias come in various forms, including single, double, and cactus varieties.
Hybrid or heirloom: Flame Dahlia seeds are typically hybrid varieties, bred for their striking color and robust growth. Hybrid dahlias often exhibit enhanced vigor and disease resistance compared to heirloom varieties.
Pruning and training: Regular deadheading of spent blooms encourages continuous flowering. Pinching back the growing tips when the plants are young promotes bushier growth. Staking may be necessary to support taller varieties and prevent them from toppling over.
Fertilization needs: Dahlias benefit from a balanced fertilizer applied every 3-4 weeks during the growing season. A 10-10-10 or 5-10-10 fertilizer is recommended. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they can promote excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms.
Hardiness zones: Dahlias are suitable for USDA hardiness zones 8-11. In cooler climates, they can be grown as annuals or their tubers can be dug up and stored over winter.
Climate requirements: Dahlias thrive in full sun and require at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. They prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Consistent moisture is essential, but the soil should not be waterlogged.
