Dahlia 'Lifestyle' is an anemone-type dahlia featuring soft yellow inner petals surrounded by curved pink outer petals. Blooming from summer until frost, it produces abundant flowers on sturdy, compact stems that require no staking. This variety thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Hardy in zones 8-10, it can be lifted and stored in colder climates for overwintering. Ideal for cut flower arrangements, container plantings, and pollinator-friendly gardens, it attracts butterflies and hummingbirds while adding vibrant color to landscapes.
Planting: In spring, plant tubers 3 to 4 inches deep with the growing points facing up, once soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Space 18 to 24 inches apart to allow for airflow and growth.
Location: Full sun is ideal (6–8 hours daily). In hot climates, light afternoon shade helps prevent stress.
Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost before planting.
Watering: Water deeply once or twice a week, keeping soil evenly moist but not soggy. Drip irrigation is ideal.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 8–10. In colder zones, lift tubers after frost and store in a cool, dry place.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer monthly or use a slow-release formula at planting and midsummer.
Pruning: Pinch back when plants reach 12 inches tall to encourage branching. Deadhead regularly to prolong bloom.
Pest & Disease: Watch for aphids, spider mites, and fungal issues. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
Propagation: Divide tubers in spring, ensuring each division has at least one eye.
