The flowers can grow up to 10 centimeters wide and 1 plant gives about 10 to 15 flowers per year. With a height of about 80 cm, this dahlia is a striking addition to the border and perfectly suited for both garden planting and cut flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eDahlia\u003c\/em\u003e 'Pinkpop' blooms for a long time, up to 100 days a year, because new flowers continuously appear when the faded ones are removed. This ensures a beautiful sea of ​​flowers late in the season, when many other plants have already finished blooming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow, where and when do I plant organic dahlia tubers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIndoor\u0026nbsp;pre-growth\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eDahlia\u003c\/em\u003e 'Pinkpop' is not winter hardy. This means that the tubers can be grown indoors from March. This gives a growth boost and ensures earlier flowering. The young plants can be moved outside after the Ice Saints (15 May), or earlier in good weather. Do watch out for night frost; in cold weather they must be brought back inside temporarily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOutside in the garden\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you wait to plant until after the frost, you can do so from 15 May. From then on, the tubers can safely go into the ground and will flower about 60 to 90 days later. Plant the tuber with the old flower stem upwards, about 2 to 3 cm below the ground, and keep a distance of 50 cm between the tubers. The planting period runs until June.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLocation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eDahlia\u003c\/em\u003e 'Pinkpop' prefers a sunny spot in a nutritious, well-drained soil, preferably with a light chalky composition. Due to its compact height of 80 cm it does not need support, but a sheltered spot is recommended. \u003cbr\u003eFor potted plants, a pot of at least 40 cm wide is recommended so that the plant does not dry out too quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDahlias topping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTopping a dahlia stimulates growth and makes the plant fuller and more compact. This is usually done when the plant has developed at least 2 to 4 pairs of leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the top pairs of leaves and cut the stem just above a leaf node with a sharp, clean pair of pruning shears. This will help the plant to put energy into developing side branches, resulting in a fuller, more floriferous plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDahlia care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil moist at all times, but not too wet. Too dry soil can affect growth and flowering.\u003cbr\u003e During flowering it is important to remove faded flowers so that new flowers continue to come. After flowering, in the autumn, it is best to let the plant die back completely before pruning it back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to do with dahlias in autumn?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtect the tubers planted in the open ground in the winter with leaves against light frost. In case of severe frost they can best be stored frost-free in a dry place. Digging out has the advantage that the tubers can be divided annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDahlias and nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dahlia is a fast growing plant that needs regular feeding.

Do not take them out of the ground too early if you want to propagate them. The best time is just before the first frost. Tubers can be divided immediately, but also in the spring, when growth points are visible.
