White Flower Farm Dahlia Fleurel

These are classified as dinnerplate dahlias, meaning they produce impressive, show-stopping flowers that reach approximately 8 inches in diameter.

Tubers should be planted in the spring only after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has begun to warm up.

If you live in a climate where the ground freezes, you will need to lift the tubers in the fall and store them in a cool, dry place indoors. In warmer zones, they can be left in the ground year-round.

Dahlia 'Fleurel' thrives in a location that receives full sun and requires well-drained soil with a pH between 6.5 and 7.0.

To ensure proper airflow and room for these large plants to develop, space your tubers 18 to 24 inches apart.

Use a fertilizer low in nitrogen, such as a 5-10-10 formula. High-nitrogen fertilizers can encourage excessive foliage growth at the expense of flower production.
