Dahlia 'Totally Tangerine' is an anemone-flowered dahlia known for its vibrant tangerine petals with a soft rose-pink blush on the reverse. The blooms feature a striking pincushion center in deep rust-orange, tipped with golden hues, creating a dynamic color contrast. This variety grows to about 3 feet tall with a compact habit, making it ideal for borders, containers, and cutting gardens.
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.
