Brown Sugar Dahlia

Brown Sugar Dahlia produces striking 3-inch orange blooms with an exceptionally rare hue that sets it apart from standard varieties. This ball-type dahlia reaches 4 feet in height, making it an excellent choice for mid-to-back border placement or cut flower arrangements. The distinctive coloring and reliable growth habit appeal to collectors and gardeners seeking unique additions to their dahlia collection. Plant tubers in well-draining soil after the last frost for optimal performance.

How To Plant Dahlias

To get your dahlias started, pick a sunny spot with soil that drains well. Dig a hole, lay the tuber flat, and cover it with soil about 3 inches deep. Hold off on watering for now. Once you spot some sprouts and a few leaves, it’s time to water, but keep it gentle to prevent root rot. It’s a smart  to put the stake next to the tuber at the same time of planting, so you don’t accidentally damage it later on.

As the season goes on, give your dahlias some love with fertilizer and insect sprays to help them bloom beautifully and grow strong. In the fall, dig up the roots and store them over winter.
