✿ General Information
  • Type: Decorative dahlia
  • Bloom Size: Medium (approximately 4–6 inches)
  • Plant Height: 3–4 feet
  • Bloom Season: Mid to late summer through early fall
  • Growth Habit: Strong, upright stems with excellent cut-flower performance
✿ Colour & Appearance
Venus dahlias feature a soft blush pink base with creamy white to pale ivory centers, often with a subtle gradient that gives the bloom depth and dimension. The petals are slightly curved and layered in a symmetrical, rounded form—creating that classic “romantic garden” look.

  • Timing (Zone 5B – BC Interior):

    • Plant outdoors after last frost (typically mid–May in your region)
    • Soil should be consistently above ~10°C (50°F)
    • You can pre-sprout tubers indoors in April for a head start

    Light:

    • Full sun (minimum 6–8 hours daily)

    Soil:

    • Rich, well-draining soil
    • Amend with compost + organic matter (your compost + alfalfa/bone meal combo works beautifully)

    Spacing:

    • 12–18 inches apart for good airflow

    Planting Depth:

    • Place tubers 4–6 inches deep, laying horizontally
    • Ensure the â€œeye” is facing up

    Watering:

    • Do not water heavily until sprouts appear
    • Then water deeply 2–3 times per week depending on heat

    Support:

    • Install stakes or netting at planting time
    • Essential for cut-flower production to keep stems straight

    Pinching:

    • Pinch plants at 8–12 inches tall
    • Encourages longer stems + more blooms (key for design work)

    Harvesting (Cut Flowers):

    • Cut when blooms are fully open (dahlias don’t open much after cutting)
    • Regular harvesting encourages more production
