FAQs
<h2>FAQs: Apple Blossom Decorative Dahlia Mix</h2> <ul> <li> <strong>1. When should I plant the Apple Blossom Dahlia Mix tubers?</strong><br> Plant the tubers in spring, after the last frost has passed and the soil has warmed to around 60°F. This gives them the best start for blooming by midsummer. </li> <li> <strong>2. Can these dahlias grow in containers?</strong><br> Absolutely—this mix is ideal for large containers or patio pots. Just make sure the container is at least 12 inches deep, has good drainage, and gets full sun. You'll get a portable flower show from July to October. </li> <li> <strong>3. Will the Apple Blossom Mix return next year?</strong><br> These dahlias are tender perennials, so in colder zones (below USDA Zone 8), you’ll need to dig up the tubers after the first frost, dry them out, and store them in a cool, dark place. Replant in spring for repeat performance. </li> <li> <strong>4. Are these flowers good for cutting?</strong><br> Yes—these are cutting garden all-stars. Each variety in the mix produces strong stems and long-lasting blooms, making them perfect for bouquets and arrangements. </li> <li> <strong>5. Do these dahlias attract pollinators?</strong><br> While decorative dahlias are more about show than nectar, their bright colors still attract the occasional bee or butterfly. Think of them as stylish bait for garden visitors. </li> </ul>
