Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just a mortal seeking floral glory, 'Hercules' is your go-to choice for adding power, beauty, and a touch of mythic magic to your garden.
Growing dahlias.
Ready to unleash some floral fierceness? Dahlias are your ticket to garden glam! These divas thrive in soil temperatures between 60°F to 70°F (15°C to 21°C), so hold off planting until after the last frost.
Don't water your dahlias after planting, there's enough moisture in the tubers and spring soil to get things going. When they pop through the soil and start leafing out - that's your cue to start watering. Just a little at first. Remember - we water the soil, not the plant, so keep the soil dark and crumbly and you'll have happy plants.
When it's time to snag those show-stopping blooms, wait until the flowers are almost fully open with tight centers before cutting. Grab your sharpest scissors and snip those stems at a chic 45-degree angle. Pop 'em in a bucket of warm water pronto! Oh, and don't forget to strip any foliage that'll take a dip in the water, unless you want a slimy surprise. Keep the water fresh, change it up every couple of days, and watch those dahlia darlings steal the spotlight both in your garden and as the stars of your bouquets.
