DAHLIA BLOODY MARY SEEDS (Dahlia pinnata) |
These annuals are a popular addition to the landscape because they have a wide range of heights, flower shapes, sizes and colors. This dwarf Dahlia Bloody Mary is easily grown from flower seeds and produces blooms in shades or Dark Red and Brown. When the flower seeds are started indoors the first part of spring, Dahlias begin blooming in early summer and continue until frost. Grow Dahlia Variabilis from dormant tuberous roots, flower seeds, rooted from cuttings, or purchased as transplants. Double-flowering types have multiple rows of petals and have large flowers. Double-flowering types, such as this one, are also classified according to flower size and shape. They prefer full sun and are very sensitive to freezing temperatures. Dahlia seeds are best planted in very warm temperatures. SOWING: Sow in Spring (March - June) Season: Annual Height: 14 inches (35 cm) Bloom Season: Early summer to autumn Bloom Color: Dark Red Environment: Full sun Soil Type: Deep, fertile, well drained soil, pH 6.0 - 6.5 Temperature: 21 - 28 C Average Germ Time: 7 - 21 days Light Required: Yes Depth: Lightly cover with top soil Moisture: Keep seeds moist until germination Plant Spacing: 12 inches (30 cm) Fill cells or pots with a free-draining, seed sowing compost, and stand in water so that the compost is thoroughly damp, then allow to drain. Sow the seeds onto the surface of the compost and cover with soil. Cover the trays with clear or milky polythene to maintain humidity, until the first seedlings are visible. Keep moist at all times. As soon as the plants are large enough to handle (approx. 3 weeks), prick out into 7cm (3in) pots to grow on at 15 to 18°C (59 to 65°F). Harden off and plant outdoors 30 to 45cm (12 to 18in) apart in soil with a good nutrient content. Take prevention against slugs – they love Dahlia seedlings! |
