1. Space plants 10-12" apart in landscape borders in well-drained soil in full sun. Space more tightly in containers.
2. This tender perennial forms tubers which will re-grow each season in zone 9-11. Be sure to plant Dahlias in soil with excellent drainage so tubers won't rot over winter. In cold climates, grow this plant as an annual or follow a few simple steps to store tubers indoors. First, cut back foliage after frost kills it and dig up the tubers. Wash off any dirt and allow tubers to dry out in a cool place. Wrap them in paper or peat moss and store them in a dark place at 35-45 degrees. Replant in spring after any chance of frost.
3. Deadhead flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
For best results with Darlin Orange Flare, use one rooted liner per 4-, 6-, or 10-inch container. Use a well-drained soil with a pH of 5.6-6.1, EC of 1.0-1.2 (2:1), average daily temperatures of 65-68 degrees, and light feed (150-200 ppm N). This plant requires long days to bloom, so provide 14 hours of light, whether with night interruption or day extension lighting. Use daminozide and paclobutrazol as needed and pinch once or twice for large containers. You may see aphids, thrips, and whiteflies. Botrytis and root rot can affect this plant, and it is best to spray for powdery mildew preventatively.
Light orange flowers with dark orange tips bloom from spring through summer.
Pinch once seven days after transplant, or twice for 10-inch containers.
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base of each plant.
Apply a daminozide spray at 1,500 ppm at transplant if needed. Use a paclobutrazol drench at 1 ppm near finishing if needed.

This plant isn't especially prone to disease, but botrytis and root rot can affect it during short days or wet, humid conditions. Powdery Mildew can be a problem and it is best to apply a preventative spray at transplant. To prevent botrytis and root rot, water at the base of each plant in the morning, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans. Space plants so sunlight can penetrate to the soil level of each container.
We recommend planting one rooted plug per container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of your container.
