Do you love color and are you crazy about flowers? Then dahlias are essential in your garden. They bloom for a very long time and you can use them as cut flowers. Dahlias are back in vogue!
In 1789, a number of dahlias were sent from Mexico to the botanical garden in Madrid with the message to serve them as food. They were not very popular at that time. That changed when Joséphine de Beauharnais, the wife of Napoleon, impulsively had her garden planted full of dahlias. She set the trend, and from that moment on, everyone wanted these flirtatious ladies in their garden. Until they suddenly became affordable due to their high demand. The status changed from 'popular' to 'common'. For a long time, the charming dahlia had to deal with this undeserved status, but fortunately, she has been rediscovered! This lady is once again very hot in the garden.
Since the charming dahlia has been rediscovered, more and more varieties have become available. Some are small and beautifully simple, while others are large and exuberantly colorful.
Have you fallen for the beautiful looks of the dahlia? Then don't wait any longer and embark on the adventure. You can best plant dahlias in May. Find a spot in the garden where the sun shines brightly and dig a planting hole. A pot in a sunny spot on the terrace can of course also work. Sprinkle some organic fertilizer in here and plant the dahlia tubers. Make sure they are planted just below the surface, so the warmth of the sun can quickly reach the tuber and you will see the first shoots within a few weeks.
