The Dahlia Decorative – Golden Emblem is a tuberous perennial known for its enormous, fully double, golden-yellow blooms. Its vibrant flowers can reach 15-18 cm in diameter on stems growing 100-120 cm tall, making it an ideal choice for adding a sunny, long-lasting pop of color to summer borders or bouquets. [1, 2]
Key Growing & Care Details:
- Planting Time: Plant tubers in late spring after all risks of frost have passed. [1]
- Depth & Spacing: Bury the tuber about 10 cm (4 inches) deep with the growth points (eyes) facing up. Space them 30-50 cm apart. [1, 2, 3]
- Sun & Soil: They thrive in a sunny, sheltered spot with fertile, humus-rich, and well-drained soil. [1, 2]
- Watering & Care: Water regularly during dry spells. Because they can grow up to 1.2 meters tall, providing stakes or structural support is highly recommended. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Overwintering: In colder regions where the ground freezes or suffers from heavy waterlogging, dig up the bulbs and store them over the winter months. [1]
