Description

the large-flowered, decorative Dahlia ‘Pink Petticoat’ is a rewarding summer bloomer that will give you pleasure for months since it blooms all summer from July until the first frost. Dahlia tubers should be planted in the spring in a good, sunny location. Dig a spacious planting hole, loosen the soil and fill the planting hole with good potting soil. Carefully place the tubers in the planting hole and cover with 3-5 cm. soil. The planting distance of the tubers is 30-60 cm. Water the tubers immediately after planting. Dahlias bloom most profusely in full sun. Dahlias are sensitive to frost, so be careful with late night frost. Store the tubers in a frost-free place after flowering and you will enjoy them for years. The droopy, layered shaded pink petals, starting white in the middle and getting progressively darker, are real eye-catchers in the garden and mixes well with perennials and other Dahlia varieties. . Dahlia are an excellent cut flower with a long vase life. The best time to cut Dahlias is early in the day and immediately place the stems in lukewarm water with cut flower food.
