Spoiled Rotten Dahlia

Spoiled Rotten dahlias deliver striking visual impact with their 5-inch hot fuchsia and cream blossoms arranged in an informal decorative form. These vigorous plants reach approximately 4 feet tall, making them ideal for mid-border placement or cutting gardens. The bold two-tone coloring commands attention in any arrangement, while the generous bloom size ensures excellent performance as cut flowers. Well-suited for gardeners seeking dramatic color contrast and reliable dahlia 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.
