Dahlia ‘Sylvia‘ is a popular ball-type tuberous perennial featuring perfectly rounded, 7 to 11 cm pumpkin-orange blooms. Growing up to 90 cm tall with dark, sturdy stems, it is a highly prized cut flower that blooms from mid-summer until the first frost. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Dahlia Sylvia is a highly popular, semi-dwarf ball dahlia celebrated for its perfect, symmetrical tangerine-orange blooms. Growing 90 to 100 cm tall, these “bulbs” (actually tuberous roots) bloom continuously from mid-summer through the first frost. They require full sun, well-draining soil, and are perfect for cut flower arrangements. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Key Growing & Care Guidelines
  • Planting: Plant tubers in the spring after all danger of frost has passed. Bury them horizontally about 10-15 cm deep with the “eye” or sprout facing upward, spacing them 45-60 cm apart. [1, 2]
  • Watering & Feeding: Water deeply once shoots appear, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Apply a high-potassium fertilizer (like tomato feed) every two weeks during the flowering season. [1]
  • Maintenance: Pinch back the main stem after five sets of leaves form to encourage bushier growth. Staking is recommended to protect the long stems from strong winds. [1, 2, 3]
  • Overwintering: Dahlias are tender perennials. In colder climates, dig up the tubers after the first frost, dry them, and store them in a cool, frost-free location. [1, 2, 3, 4]
