Deadheading the spent blooms will encourage the plant to continue producing new flowers throughout the growing season.

As the summer months come to an end, it’s important to start preparing your dahlia for the winter. Cut back the stems and leaves and dig up the tubers. Allow them to dry for a few days in a warm, dry place before storing them in a cool, dark location for the winter. When spring arrives, you can replant the tubers and enjoy another season of beautiful blooms.

In addition to being a beautiful addition to any garden, the ‘Ferncliff Duo’ dahlia is also a popular choice for cut flowers. The large blooms and long stems make them perfect for bouquets and floral arrangements.
