Not every gardener can achieve the luxurious flowering of everyone’s favorite perennial dahlias.
The reason for this is the mistakes made when planting this plant.
One of the most common mistakes among both beginners and professionals is soil that is unsuitable for dahlias.
If you want even passers-by to stop at your fence to admire the blooming dahlias, take care to prepare the area in advance and also add granules of chicken manure or horse manure to it.
Another important rule, which for some reason is often ignored, is that when planting, you need to sprinkle the soil around the root collar so that it is completely covered.
This is done due to the fact that night frosts are not such a rare occurrence in early spring.
Also, do not forget about the need to get rid of all the lower leaves that touch the soil. Otherwise, rotting processes may begin.
Finally, make sure that the dahlias are kept in the shade for the first month after planting - the delicate shoots are damaged by the sun.
