Purchase of planting material

Most often, gardeners use the cultivation of dahlia seeds "Merry guys", so you should always start with the purchase of seed. Seeds are most often sold ready-made, mixed with each other to grow flowers of various colors.

It is very important to pay attention to the description of the planting material, since the height of an adult bush should be indicated there. In order not to disrupt the design of your own site, you should think about the landing in advance. This will create a beautiful composition. The flowering time directly depends on the height of the plant. Small bushes bloom earlier, and tall ones later. Terry flowers are more than 40 centimeters high, but the number of flowers on the bush will be less and they bloom later.

Perfect ground

In order for the "Merry Guys" dahlias, the planting and care of which we are now discussing, to grow beautiful and strong, you will have to choose the right soil for them. The ideal soil for such flowers will be neutral, rather loose and airy, fertile and in no case oversaturated with moisture. If the groundwater is high, you will have to grow flowers in slightly raised flower beds to protect their roots from rotting. The soil can be purchased from a specialty store or made by yourself.

• Fertile soil, you can use leafy or even forest land.
• Fine river sand.
• Humus or specially prepared peat.

All components of the ideal mixture must be mixed before planting seeds in the soil, but it will not hurt to complete disinfection even earlier, so that pests and pathogens do not get to the plants. To do this, it is worth calcining the soil in the oven for ten to twenty minutes, this will be quite enough. It will not hurt to spill the soil with an additional weak solution of potassium permanganate, but this is not necessary.

Seedling

The first method of planting dahlias "Funny guys" is the cultivation of special seedlings, followed by transferring them to open ground. This way you can achieve flowering much earlier, however, you will have to tinker more.

• You can sow seeds in prepared containers with soil at the very beginning of March. Ideally, you can use regular planked seedling trays that have enough holes to drain moisture away.
• The soil needs to be watered, and then compacted a little with your hands, after which dahlia seeds should be planted at intervals of three to five centimeters. The sowing depth should not be more than two centimeters, but not less than one.
• From above, the grooves are leveled, and a half-centimeter layer of sand is sieved on top of everything and covered with a film (you can use food, or you can use large glass lids).
• Boxes with seedlings must be marked indoors at a temperature of 24-28 degrees Celsius.

The first shoots should appear after ten days. Then you need to remove an impromptu greenhouse in the form of glass or film. When the plants form several leaves, they can be dived into separate peat pots, which need to be watered regularly and taken outside for several minutes every day (hardened). In mid or late May, you can plant seedlings in open ground, where they will bloom and delight their owner.

Seeds

One-year-old dahlias "Merry Guys" perfectly tolerate planting straight into the open ground, which will greatly simplify the task. True, the flower garden will begin to please the eye then a little later, but it will bloom much longer.

• Sowing in open ground is required to be done only when the threat of frost completely disappears. Experts recommend doing this in mid or late May.
• Before sowing, the seeds are specially treated with a formalin solution to prevent possible diseases. After processing, they are dried in a paper towel.
• Dried seeds are sown in small grooves made in the flower bed.
• After the emergence of seedlings, the seedlings will need to be watered regularly, but not abundantly, so as not to overdo it.

With this sowing option, they will bloom only by August, not earlier, and in the first case, you can count on abundant flowering already in mid-June or early July. But such "late" dahlias will bloom in the flowerbed until the frost, pleasing the eye with their beauty and splendor. That is, it is not at all difficult to grow "Merry Guys" from seeds of dahlias, and with the method of planting in open soil, it is generally available to everyone.

Care rules, feeding and watering

Reviews of biotechnicians about the dahlias "Merry Guys" say that these are simple flowers, with which there will definitely not be much "fuss". However, you should familiarize yourself with the basic rules of care, that is, learn how to properly feed, water and remove weeds. Without this, you can not achieve a beautiful flowering, and this is exactly what any florist strives for.

• Fresh young shoots just planted on a flower bed should be watered several times (2-3) a week, that is, in a day or two. It is not difficult to find out that it is time to water the flowers, since the top layer of soil under them should completely dry out.
• More mature plants should be watered once a week, and the frequency can only be changed if it rains heavily, or vice versa, if the heat is unbearable.
• During the flowering period, it is better to reduce the frequency of watering, and start spraying the flowers with a spray bottle.
• Starting from mid-August, watering of the plants can be completely stopped, as they begin to slowly die off.
• You need to feed the plants from the very planting in the soil, this is done with the help of ammonium nitrate. Once a week will be enough for green mass gain and active growth.
• During flowering, it is better to add phosphates to fertilizers, as well as potassium. This will help form young buds and extend the flowering period.

Then organic fertilizers can be added once. You will not have to add anything more to the "Merry Guys" dahlias. They already feel great in a flower bed to disturb their peace once again.

A good place

Any experienced florist knows that the Merry Guys dahlia varieties will require a spacious flower bed. They grow very quickly, taking up quite a lot of space. It is optimal to leave a distance of up to one meter between the bushes in order to provide them with space and freedom. This variety loves air, warmth and sun, and can easily withstand a slight drought. Having gone on vacation for two weeks, you don't have to worry that the plants will die. The gentle slopes on the south and southeast side are an excellent choice.

It is necessary to select a place for dahlias hidden from drafts, they do not like when it blows. Avoid places where flowers will be shaded by trees, fences, walls of buildings or other structures, this is unacceptable. Lack of sun will certainly affect the flowers, their stems will strive upward, become fragile and thin, but the flowers, on the contrary, can become tiny and rare.

Reproduction

Plants die when the season ends, but there are a few things you can do to keep them alive until next year. For example, you can collect seeds and start over from the beginning next spring, choosing which growing method is more appropriate.You can also organize the conservation of tubers, which is usually not used by gardeners, due to the rapid degeneration of plants. Nevertheless, this can be practiced for two or three years, so the ability to control their coloring is well preserved.

In the variant with seeds, there is no such possibility, since during sowing it is impossible to guess which seed is from which bush. At room temperature, dahlia seeds can be stored for several years, their germination capacity will remain high. Please note that plants from the same bushes will not always correspond to the characteristics of their ancestors. Do not be surprised if you were waiting for snow-white buds, but pink or red ones appeared, this is quite normal.
