About Dahlia Pink
Dahlia Pink are perennial plants with tuberous roots, though they are grown as annuals in some regions with cold winters. While some have herbaceous stems, others have stems which lignify in the absence of secondary tissue and resprout following winter dormancy, allowing further seasons of growth.As a member of the Asteraceae, the dahlia has a flower head that is actually a composite (hence the older name Compositae) with both central disc florets and surrounding ray florets. Each floret is a flower in its own right, but is often incorrectly described as a petal, particularly by horticulturists. The modern name Asteraceae refers to the appearance of a star with surrounding rays.
How to care Dahlia Pink
Dahlias need to be kept weed-free. Use organic mulch around the plants to prevent weeds and conserve moisture.
Pinch back the terminal buds when the plant is 15 inches (38 cm.) tall to enforce good branching and structure and increase budding.
Provide plenty of water to your plants. Water plants deeply once or twice per week. Big dahlias need a support structure to keep the heavy blooms from bending to the ground.
Fertilize monthly with a water-soluble fertilizer or twice during the growing season use ½ cup (120 mL.) 5-10-10 scattered around the root zone of the plants.
