Description

Dahlia ‘Hawaiian Sunrise’ is a breathtaking variety that produces stunning bi-coloured blooms in shades of warm orange and soft yellow, resembling a tropical sunrise. This vibrant dahlia is perfect for garden borders, patio containers, and floral arrangements. Follow this detailed guide to successfully grow and care for Dahlia ‘Hawaiian Sunrise’, ensuring a season full of striking blooms.

PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
  • Spring: The ideal time to plant Dahlia ‘Hawaiian Sunrise’ is in spring when the risk of frost has passed, and the soil has begun to warm. This allows the tubers to establish strong roots before the active growing season.
  • Autumn: Alternatively, Dahlia can be planted in early autumn. This allows the plant to settle before dormancy, ensuring better growth when the new season begins.
Site Selection
  • Sunlight: Dahlia thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and an abundance of flowers. A sunny location ensures strong stems and vivid blooms.
  • Soil: For the best results, plant your Dahlia in well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged areas, as excessive moisture can cause root rot. Incorporate organic matter such as compost to enhance soil fertility and drainage.
Planting Instructions
  1. Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole about 3 inches deep and wide enough to accommodate the dahlia tuber comfortably. Allow space for root expansion.
  2. Soil Preparation: Mix compost or well-rotted manure into the soil before planting. This enriches the soil, providing essential nutrients for Dahlia ‘Hawaiian Sunrise’ to develop healthy roots and flowers.
  3. Planting: Position the tuber with the “eyes” (small growing points) facing upwards. Cover with soil, gently firming it down while leaving a slight depression for watering.
  4. Watering After Planting: Water the tuber lightly after planting to help settle the soil. Ensure good drainage to prevent rot.
Watering Requirements
  • Growing Season: Dahlia benefits from consistent watering. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings.
  • Dormant Season: During dormancy, reduce watering significantly. Dahlia requires minimal moisture during this period. Overwatering may cause tubers to rot.
Feeding
  • Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to encourage strong growth and prepare Dahlia ‘Hawaiian Sunrise’ for an extended blooming season.
  • Mid-Summer: A potassium-rich feed in mid-summer will support continuous flowering and help maintain healthy foliage. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers, as they promote excessive leafy growth at the expense of blooms.
Pruning
  • Deadheading: Regularly deadhead by removing faded blooms. This encourages further flower production and prolongs the flowering period.
  • Autumn Pruning: After flowering, cut back the stems to just above ground level. This tidies the plant and prepares it for dormancy.
Mulching
  • Spring: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as compost or bark chips, around your Dahlia in spring. This helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature.
  • Winter: Before winter, add an extra layer of mulch over the tubers to provide insulation and protect them from harsh conditions.
Supporting the Plant
  • Staking: Dahlia ‘Hawaiian Sunrise’ produces tall, showy flowers that may require staking, particularly in exposed locations. Use garden canes or plant supports to keep stems upright and prevent damage.
Final Tips

Dahlia ‘Hawaiian Sunrise’ is a striking addition to any garden, providing months of tropical-inspired blooms. By planting it in full sun, well-drained soil, and following this care guide, you’ll be rewarded with vibrant flowers from midsummer until the first frosts. Whether in borders, containers, or floral displays, Dahlia ‘Hawaiian Sunrise’ brings a burst of warmth and colour to any outdoor space. Follow these steps, and enjoy the stunning beauty of Dahlia ‘Hawaiian Sunrise’ season after season!

    I’ve waited a while before leaving a review. The plant was well packaged and arrived as advised. It was healthy and a good size. The flowers are stunning, beautiful colour, especially contrasted against the stem.
    This is my first Proctors Nursery order, I won’t hesitate placing another; I highly recommend both nursery and plant.
