INCREASE DAHLIA BLOOMS
Deadhead flowers past their best and keep cutting stems to use for indoor displays. The more flowers you cut now, the more they will produce into autumn. Dahlias work well in vases, but don’t cut any still in bud as they won’t open once removed. Water dahlias frequently in hot weather, directing the water at the roots of the plants to avoid waste. Soak them well once a week, rather than little and often.
