Bernardo Dahlia

Bernardo Dahlia produces stunning 5-inch bicolor blooms with crisp white petals accented by deep red tones. This tall variety reaches 3 feet at maturity, making it an excellent choice for garden backdrops and cut flower arrangements. The dramatic color contrast and generous bloom size deliver visual impact throughout the growing season. Ideal for gardeners seeking a striking, reliable performer. How To Plant Dahlias To get your dahlias started, pick a sunny spot with soil that drains well. Dig a hole, lay the tuber flat, and cover it with soil about 3 inches deep. Hold off on watering for now. Once you spot some sprouts and a few leaves, it’s time to water, but keep it gentle to prevent root rot. It’s a smart  to put the stake next to the tuber at the same time of planting, so you don’t accidentally damage it later on. As the season goes on, give your dahlias some love with fertilizer and insect sprays to help them bloom beautifully and grow strong. In the fall, dig up the roots and store them over winter.
