Ace Summer Emotions

The Ace Summer Emotions dahlia tubers usually start growing within 7 to 14 days after planting. However, the exact time frame can depend on various factors, such as soil temperature, water availability, fertilizer, and the overall health of the tubers.

In general, it is best to plant Dahlia Tubers in warm, well-drained soil, and to provide them with ample moisture and sunlight.

The perfect soil temperature is around 60-65°F. The growth rate of Dahlias depends on various factors such as soil temperature, water, light, and fertilizer. Dahlias prefer well-draining soil and ample water to encourage growth and healthy development.

By providing optimal care, you can help your Ace Summer Emotions Dahlias grow as quickly and healthy as possible.

To encourage blooming, deadhead faded flowers regularly, and cut back the stems after the first frost. Additionally:
• Plant the tubers in well-draining soil in a sunny location.
• Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged.
• Apply a balanced fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, every 2-4 weeks.
• Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Cut back the foliage when it yellows to encourage new growth.
• Stake tall varieties to prevent damage from wind and heavy blooms.

In ideal growing conditions, Dahlias can grow quite quickly and reach their full height within just a few months. Keep in mind that some Dahlia varieties are taller than others, so it's essential to choose the right variety for your garden or landscape.

This depends on various factors such as the size of the planting area, the desired spacing between plants, and the desired visual effect. To make a nice display in your garden, we suggest keeping in mind that you need to:
• Plant smaller Dahlia tubers approximately 15-18 inches apart from each other
• Plant larger Dahlia varieties 22-26 inches apart

For Ace Summer Emotions we recommend a planting distance of 24 inches because this variety is very tall and wide. Now you know how far apart you plant the dahlia tubers, you can measure your garden and calculate how many Ace Summer Emotions Dahlia tubers you need. For pots and containers you can use the same thumb rule, so keep in mind to use big pots and containers.

For Ace Summer Emotions Dahlia tubers, a balanced fertilizer with equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium is recommended. Some options include:
• 10-10-10 or 12-12-12 fertilizer
• 5-10-5 or 7-14-7 fertilizer
• 14-14-14 fertilizer

It is also important to use a fertilizer that contains trace elements such as iron, manganese, and zinc to ensure healthy growth and development. These can be found in many all-purpose fertilizers or can be added separately as a micronutrient mix.

When applying the fertilizer, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommended application rates and to avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to problems such as weak stems and foliage.

Ace Summer Emotions Dahlia tubers should be about 4-6 inches tall before pinching. This process involves removing the central stem or shoots of the plant to promote bushier growth and more blooms. Pinching should be done when the plant has reached the proper height, which is typically 4-6 inches. This allows the plant to focus its energy on developing additional branches and leaves, which will ultimately lead to more blooms.

Before pinching, make sure that the plant has established a strong root system. This will allow it to recover quickly after the pinching process and continue to grow at a steady pace. Use a clean pair of scissors or pruning shears to pinch the central stem, cutting it just above the first set of leaves. This will encourage the plant to produce side shoots and promote bushier growth.
