The special thing about this dahlia is that the inside of the curled petals are orange and the outside has a slightly darker shade, which gives it a unique appearance. The \u003cem\u003eDahlia\u003c\/em\u003e 'Jablou' blooms for an incredibly long time, 100 days a year until deep into autumn, because countless flowers come back when you remove the faded flowers.

The plants can be moved outdoors after the Ice Saints (15 May), or earlier if the weather permits, but they must be protected from night frost by bringing them inside at night if necessary.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOutside in the garden\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you choose to wait to plant the dahlia tubers until after the frost, then this is best done up to and including May 15. From then on, the tubers can be planted in the ground without any risk of frost and will flower approximately 60 to 90 days later. Plant the dahlia tuber with its old flower stem from last year facing upwards, just 2 to 3 centimeters below the ground and keep a distance of half a meter from tuber to tuber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe planting season is until June.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLocation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dahlia prefers a sunny spot in nutrient-rich, water-permeable, preferably calcareous, sandy soil. \u003cbr\u003eGiven the height of the 'Jablou' it is sometimes necessary to support the stems to prevent them from falling over, especially in windy weather. For pot planting it is best to take a pot at least 40 centimetres wide, so that it does not dry out too quickly in the summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDahlias topping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTopping a dahlia is a technique to stimulate growth and make the plant more compact and full. Dahlias are topped when they have reached a certain height, usually when they are in the active growth stage. We recommend allowing at least 2 to 4 pairs of leaves to grow before topping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA leaf node is where a leaf is attached to the stem. Look at the top pairs of leaves on the stem. Use a sharp, clean pair of pruning shears and cut the stem just above a leaf node. Make sure to make a clean cut so as not to damage the plant. If there are flower buds below the topped spot, you can also remove them. This helps the plant to put more energy into developing side branches. \u003cspan\u003eAfter topping, the dahlia will begin to develop side branches from the leaf axils, resulting in a more floriferous plant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil of the \u003cem\u003eDahlia\u003c\/em\u003e 'Jablou' moist at all times. Too dry soil can cause problems in growth and flowering. \u003cbr\u003eDuring flowering, the faded flowers are removed for new flowering. The dahlia flowers until the first night frost. Cut the plant back to the ground. Protect the tubers that are planted in the open ground with leaves in the winter against light frost. In case of severe frost, they should be stored frost-free in a dry place. The advantage of digging up is that the tuber can be divided every year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed the plant several times a year for optimal results. The dahlia is a fast growing plant that can use a lot of nutrition.\u003cbr\u003e For organic potting soil, plant food and other soil improvers we recommend \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bio-kultura.nl\/Overige-bodemverbetering\" title=\"Bio Kultura soil improvement\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBio Kultura\u003c\/a\u003e !\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bio-kultura.nl\/Overige-bodemverbetering\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGiving back to nature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the fall, the remains of the dead plant can be cut off and processed into the soil for nutrition.

Do not remove the tubers from the ground too early for propagation. Just before the first frost is the best time. The tubers can be split immediately, but this can also be done in the spring. The advantage of splitting in the spring is that small growth points can already be seen in the spring. This makes it easy to recognize where the tuber can best be split.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEdible\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the \u003cem\u003eDahlia\u003c\/em\u003e 'Jablou' is edible.
