Dahlia Cactus 'My Love' (Ships in Spring)

Dahlia

Dahlia 'My Love' is a semi-cactus variety with elegant white blooms and gently curled, spiky petals. Reaching 36 to 48 inches in height, it produces 5 to 6 inch flowers that bloom from mid-summer to frost. Its lush green foliage enhances the luminous blooms, making it ideal for cutting gardens, borders, and containers. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it attracts pollinators while offering some resistance to deer and rabbits. Hardy in zones 8 to 11, tubers should be lifted in colder climates for winter storage.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Dahlia Cactus 'My Love' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: In spring, plant tubers 3 to 4 inches deep with the eye facing up, once soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Space 18 to 24 inches apart to accommodate their vigorous growth and airflow needs.
Location: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) is essential for strong stems and abundant blooms.
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. Avoid watering until shoots emerge to prevent rot.
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. Avoid high-nitrogen feeds.
Pruning: Pinch back when plants reach 12 inches tall to encourage bushier growth. Deadhead regularly to promote continuous 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 viable eye.
