Dahlia 'Sylvia': A ray of sunshine in the garden
Enchantingly orange and uncomplicatedly charming, dahlia 'Sylvia' is more than a flower - it is a statement of joie de vivre in your garden. This orange ball-dahlia knows how to surprise everyone with its rich, velvety blossoms and tireless flowering.
A spectacle of colour
Dahlia 'Sylvia' does not come alone. From summer to autumn, she keeps the flower ball going, with a constantly renewing show of deep orange flowers. Each petal contributes to its perfect round shape. The flowers are 10-15 cm in diameter. Its long stems also make dahlia Sylvia a good addition to a picking garden.
Plants of dahia Sylvia
Each dahlia 'Sylvia' starts as a modest tuber that grows into a large plant. In spring, when the risk of frost has gone, it is time to plant the tubers.
- Choose the perfect spot: dahlias love the sun. Find a spot where it can catch at least 6 hours of sun a day.
- Prepare the soil: A rich, well-drained soil makes for the best start. Mix some compost or old manure into the soil for a nutrient boost.
- Planting depth and distance: lay the tuber about 15 cm deep with the old stalks facing upwards and keep about 60 cm distance between plants.
Care: love and attention
Once planted, dahlia 'Sylvia' doesn't require much care, but a little extra attention won't hurt.
- Watering: Regular watering helps 'Sylvia' grow, especially during dry periods. Make sure the soil is moist, but not soggy.
- Nutrition: A monthly treatment of a general flower food will encourage 'Sylvia' to do extra her best.
- Support: Although 'Sylvia' is strong, it can sometimes use some help carrying its flowers. Support sticks or plant rings are a good friend for the longer stems.
The annual dahlia ritual
As autumn embraces the last flowers, it is time to get 'Sylvia' ready for her beauty sleep.
- Dig up tubers: After the first frost, when the foliage turns black, carefully dig up the tubers.
- Dry and store: Let them dry for a few days and then store them in a cool, frost-free place until the next planting season.
Enrich your garden with the vibrant dahlia 'Sylvia'. It's more than gardening; it's an adventure in colour and joy, and 'Sylvia' waits with open flowers to join in.
