Dahilia

Dahlias are flowers that will give your garden and landscape something new and vibrant to rekindle your love for gardening. They are also favored because of their coloration during the fall months of the year. They will usually bloom from mid summer to late fall and have a wide range of colors from orange, white and purple. The blooms will be magnificent and fairly large for the size of the plant, ranging anywhere from two to twelve inches across. The plants will range from several inches tall to upwards of twenty feet. Most of the larger species are found in the wild. Dahilias also make beautiful fresh cut flowers and will keep for many days in your home.

These flowers can also be perennial or annual, depending on the species so make sure to research before deciding which species you will want to plant in your garden or landscape area. Dahlias come in many colors and petal shapes thanks to the many cultivars that have experimented with the breeding of these flowers. This particular type of flower is simply breathtaking. You can plant it in colonies and have many colors in one area, form a border around your already existing flower bed, or you can plant them all on their own. They will look amazing in any area you see fit. There are so many species from double flowering to single flowering to anemone and orchid flowers types. These flowers will do best in soil conditions that are well drained and prefer a pH level from six to six and a half. Also, these flowers love organic matter, so adding some compost or peat moss will improve the overall health and happiness of the flower. When you plant these, make sure the soil is somewhat warm and moist as they will adapt much better. They do best in climate zones eight through ten and will require at least six hours of sunlight each day to reach their potential. Adding these flowers to your garden is a great idea, and you will love the results!

Perennials - How to Care for Them

Why Divide Perennials?

Gardeners love wildflower perennials because they grow so easily. These offer beauty at an inexpensive price. However, they multiply quickly and can grow out of control, clumping and may even taking over other planted areas. To prevent this from happening, there comes a time when you must devide perennials in your garden. If you don’t divide these, they will eventually look ill kept. Even so, there are also other reasons why you want to eventually separate them.

Avoid Holes
Perennials grow very quickly and they usually begin to clump together. When these aren’t divided every three to four years, then spots of these clumps often die out, leaving gaping holes.

Protect from Fungal Disease

Large clumps of perennial roots are susceptible to insect infestations and fungal infections. 

Flowers 

When you don’t devide perennials and they multiply, these become overcrowded and have fewer or smaller flowers than those that are well spaced. 

If you replant in different areas, then you control the plants, which is especially important when the plants are aggressive and tend to overwhelm neighboring plants.

More Plants

Besides, when you divide the perennials you create more plants of the same variety. This offers an inexpensive way of adding new plants to other areas of the garden. 

When to Dig Up and Seperate

Many gardeners ask themselves when to dig up and seperate perennials. Actually, these are very hardy plans so you can dig them up to replant in different areas any time from Spring to Fall, however, there are two seasons that are best for doing this; spring and fall. These seasons are cooler than the summer, so the weather and soil conditions are less stressful to the plant. Just be sure to divide them when the plants are large enough. 

Perennials are beautiful and very easy to grow. However, they do take some maintenance and you do need to dig them up and separate them every couple of years. This is an easy process, but one you should do in the cooler months of spring or fall. Remember, separating allows you to plant small clumps of plants in different areas of the garden.
