PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
  • Spring: Plant Dahlia ‘Lubega Power Yellow Orange’ PBR in spring once the risk of frost has passed. This allows the plant to establish strong roots before the flowering season.
  • After Frost: If starting indoors, transfer the plant outside after the last frost date to ensure healthy growth and prolonged flowering.
Site Selection
  • Sunlight: Dahlia ‘Lubega Power Yellow Orange’ PBR thrives in full sun. Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal blooms.
  • Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil is essential for preventing root rot. Improve drainage by incorporating organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure.
Planting Instructions
  1. Prepare the Soil: Loosen the soil and mix in compost to enhance fertility and drainage.
  2. Dig a Hole: Make a hole twice the width of the root ball and place Dahlia ‘Lubega Power Yellow Orange’ PBR in it, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
  3. Backfill and Water: Gently fill the hole with soil, firming it around the base. Water thoroughly to help establish roots.
  4. Spacing: If planting multiple Dahlias, space them at least 30cm apart to allow for good air circulation.
Watering Requirements
  • Growing Season: Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Deep watering is recommended during dry periods.
  • Dormant Season: Reduce watering when flowering slows, and foliage begins to die back.
Feeding
  • Early Growth: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser at planting time to support strong root and foliage development.
  • Mid-Season Boost: Use a high-potassium feed (such as tomato fertiliser) every two weeks to encourage continuous blooming.
Pruning and Deadheading
  • Deadheading: Regularly remove spent blooms to prolong the flowering period of Dahlia ‘Lubega Power Yellow Orange’ PBR.
  • Late-Season Care: As temperatures drop, trim back dying foliage to direct the plant’s energy towards root storage.
Mulching
  • Spring & Summer: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of your Dahlia to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Winter Protection: In colder areas, lift tubers after the first frost, dry them, and store in a cool, dry place until the next growing season.
Supporting the Plant
  • Staking: Although compact, Dahlia ‘Lubega Power Yellow Orange’ PBR may benefit from staking in windy locations to prevent damage.
  • Container Care: If growing in pots, ensure they are placed in a sheltered yet sunny spot and use well-draining soil.
Final Tips

Dahlia ‘Lubega Power Yellow Orange’ PBR is a low-maintenance plant that offers non-stop blooms throughout the growing season. By providing full sun, well-drained soil, and regular feeding, you will enjoy a spectacular display of vibrant flowers.
