FAQs
<h2>Fleurel® Dahlia FAQs</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>1. How big do Fleurel Dahlias get, and where should I plant them?</strong><br>
Fleurel Dahlias grow to about 3 to 4 feet tall, with blooms up to 8 inches across—think dinner-plate size! Plant them in full sun with well-drained soil. They're stunning in garden beds, borders, or containers where they’ll get at least 6 hours of sun daily.
</li>
<li>
<strong>2. Can Fleurel Dahlias grow in pots or containers?</strong><br>
Yes, and they look incredible doing it! Choose a large container (at least 12–16" wide and deep) with good drainage. Container-grown Fleurels let you spotlight those huge white blooms on patios, balconies, or near entryways for maximum visual impact.
</li>
<li>
<strong>3. How do I care for Fleurel Dahlias once they start growing?</strong><br>
Stake them early to support those heavy blooms, and keep the soil evenly moist (but not soggy). Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Feed monthly with a low-nitrogen fertilizer for best flowering.
</li>
<li>
<strong>4. Are Fleurel Dahlias good for cut flower arrangements?</strong><br>
Absolutely—they're a florist favorite! With long, sturdy stems and blooms that last up to a week in a vase, Fleurels make elegant centerpieces or bridal-worthy bouquets. Cut in the morning once blooms are fully open for the best vase life.
</li>
<li>
<strong>5. Do Fleurel Dahlias need to be dug up in winter?</strong><br>
Yes, in zones colder than USDA Zone 8, you'll need to lift the tubers after the first frost. Let them dry, then store in a cool, frost-free spot over winter. In warmer zones, you can mulch heavily and leave them in the ground.
