In order for this variety to show itself in all its glory, it must be provided with adequate nutrition and rationed shoots. The rule common to all large-flowered dahlias is: the fewer buds we leave, the larger the flowers will grow.

Varieties of annual dahlias

Annuals are called dahlias, which are grown from seeds. These plants are undersized, from 30 cm to 1 meter high and bloom two to three months after sowing the seeds. If you still cannot (or do not want) to preserve dahlia tubers in winter, then planting annual varieties will be a good way out. These dahlias also have other advantages:

They are easier to grow.
Different varieties can be planted each year.
Annual dahlias grow well in containers and flowerpots.
Seeds are much cheaper than tubers.

Seeds for seedlings begin to be sown in mid-February and are sown until the end of March. When growing seedlings of dahlias, problems usually arise. You just need to take into account that in warmth and with a lack of light, the seedlings will quickly stretch out.

Therefore, after picking, the plants should be placed in a bright and cool room. It can be a loggia, a greenhouse or a cold greenhouse.

Annual dahlias are propagated by both seeds and tubers. In the fall, you can collect the seeds and use them for planting in the spring. And you can dig up nodules and with proper winter storage, next year they will grow flowers that will be even better than they were in the previous season.

The best varieties of dahlias for flower beds

The types and varieties of dahlias are very diverse and numerous. To facilitate the selection, they are divided into groups according to the appearance of the flower (taking into account the size of the inflorescence, the shape of the bud, the structure and location of the petals, the color), the necessary conditions for growing, the methods of application.

Grouping varieties by cultivation goals and agricultural technology

Depending on the cultivation methods and the requirements for care, the following groups of dahlias can be distinguished:

perennials and for one season;
light-loving and tolerant of partial shade;
garter-requiring and firm.

You can grow your favorite variety from seeds or tubers. Read more about the advantages of one and the other methods in the article "How to choose high-quality planting material for dahlias".

Varieties of annual dahlias bloom earlier and more intensely than perennials. They are unpretentious and do not create problems with storing tubers for the winter. But if you do not like messing with seedlings, we will tell you, how to grow varieties of annual dahlias with perennials.

For this, the root that did not have time to acquire nodules is dug up in the fall with an earthen lump, dried and stored in a basement in a wooden box. The overwintered root system is planted in the garden in May.

ON THE PICTURE: Annual dahlias do not have time to form tubers, but the roots of annuals, when properly stored, are quite suitable for planting next year.

Perennials come into full bloom only in the second or even third year. To speed up the process of growing up, you should carefully study the issue of how to care for dahlias.

The use of dahlias in the design of the garden

To decorate the edges of flower beds, miniature plants are planted. The 'Berliner Cleene' curb dahlias with delicate pink flowers are used to create floral designs along sidewalks.

For contrast, take the salmon-colored ‘Margareth Cleene’ and the light plum ‘Blusette’.

'Gallery' curb dahlias are a blend of plant seeds in rich and pastel shades.

Low-growing varieties with large flowers, for example, cactus dahliasare often grown in containers or as a pot culture.

Where to plant tall varieties? They look great as a single bush. Often they are planted in a group in a sunny place along a solid fence that protects against sudden gusts of wind.ON THE PICTURE: A hedge of tall dahlias as a way to decorate a garden path.

It is recommended to grow varieties for cutting, the buds of which remain fresh in a vase for at least a week.

Grouping varieties by flower structure

According to the structure of the flower, dahlia varieties are divided into the following groups:

simple / single row;
anemone;
cactus;
semi-cactus;
spherical;
nymphaean;
pompom;
collar;
decorative.

Simple / single row dahlias

This group is made up of low-growing bushes with non-double flowers, the petals of which are located in one row. The diameter of the blooming dahlia is 10 cm.

Simple dahlias of the following varieties are widespread:

‘Happy Kiss’ - achievement of Dutch breeders. Flowers of orange color with a slight shade of pink were obtained at the beginning of our century. Rounded light petals frame a dark accented center with bright spots of golden anthers.ON THE PICTURE: 'Happy Kiss' variety.

Variety‘Romeo’ - simple surprisingly bright scarlet flowers adorn the garden until the frost. The height of the stems does not exceed 55 cm, the diameter of the flower is standard for this group - 10 cm.ON THE PICTURE: ‘Romeo’ variety.

'Funny boys' - the variety is represented by flowers of various bright colors, consisting of one / two rows of rounded petals with a small sharp tip-pinch. The height of 30-60 cm allows you to form beautiful borders, massifs and ridges from the bushes.

If you've chosen the 'Funny Guys' dahlias, growing them doesn't take much effort. They are popular for their simplicity, drought tolerance and lack of need to dig out the root system for winter storage. Flowering reaches its maximum in the first year, so these dahlias are grown from seeds as an annual.

ON THE PICTURE: Variety ‘Funny guys’.

On the market, there are often mixtures of seeds of simple dahlias of different colors, for example, ‘Mignon Mischung’... This mixture is selected from varieties not exceeding 50 cm in height and blooming in simple or semi-double flowers.ON THE PICTURE: 'Mignon Mischung' variety.

Anemone dahlias

The stems are decorated with semi-double buds with a diameter of 5 to 10 cm. The middle petals are shortened, often dissected towards the tips. Outside petals create a dramatic frame for a condensed center. Most varieties of this group are undersized - 60–70 cm.

The following varieties of dahlias with an anemone-shaped flower are popular:

‘Boogie Woogie’ - has an unusual color. The dense center of the flower consists of bright yellow narrow petals strongly dissected towards the tip. The carved outer edge is deep pink.

When cut, the buds remain fresh for up to seven days. Flowering 'Boogie-Woogie' pleases from mid-summer until the first days of October. The bush looks great singly and in group plantings.

Cactus dahlias

Terry inflorescences of this group of varieties consist of elongated pointed petals rolled into narrow tubes / needles. The flower with its structure resembles a cactus, which gave the name to the group.

I would like to mention a pleasant feature - during the rain, the inflorescences do not become heavier with raindrops and do not droop to the ground.

If the petal is strongly dissected from the tip to the center, such a plant is classified as a subgroup of arachnids.

Popular varieties of this group:

‘Park Record’ - large, up to 18 cm, inflorescences bloom on a dwarf bush, not exceeding half a meter in height.

annual dahlias - planting and care, varieties with photos and names, video

Annual dahlias, planting and caring for which are easier than perennial varieties, are the optimal solution for novice gardeners. These varieties are also suitable for colder climates where there is no way to grow plants in a greenhouse. In terms of beauty and abundance of flowering, they are not inferior to perennial dahlias and have a large number of varieties and varieties.

Features of planting annual varieties of dahlias

Planting and caring for annual dahlias is easy. These plants are propagated by seeds, which can be purchased at the store or harvested by yourself after flowering. There are no special requirements for the composition of the soil - the plants take root well and bloom in almost any conditions.

Seed selection

The stores sell different varieties of dahlias and their combinations. Before buying, it is worth deciding for what purpose the flowers will be grown. There are a huge number of plant varieties that differ in height and shape.

On sale you can find collared annual dahlias, as well as cactus and other varieties. The best option for decorating a garden is the collection marked "Mix". They contain seeds of different varieties, approximately the same in height.

If you plant them in open ground, the flower beds are lush and bright.

Taller dahlia bushes have one feature - they begin to form buds later than undersized varieties. If the tall representatives begin to bloom in July, then you can wait for the flowering of low shrubs in early summer.

Landing in open ground

Seeds of annual dahlias can be planted in open ground without prior preparation. The procedure is carried out in May, when the soil warms up enough. If the seeds are planted before the air temperature rises and is stable at 20-25 degrees, they may not sprout.

Planting and caring for annual dahlias is carried out in several stages:

the soil is pre-loosened, you can add a small amount of organic fertilizers;
seeds are placed at a distance of several centimeters from each other;
after 7-10 days, the first shoots appear, and when they begin to grow intensively, they get rid of the weakest representatives so as not to interfere with the growth of healthier plants;
dahlias are periodically watered in drought conditions.

The main challenge is when to plant annual dahlias when grown from seed.

May is the optimal time in a temperate climate, but you should be guided by the temperature of the air and soil. In addition, with this method of planting, the time for the appearance of buds is shifted.

The first flowers begin to bloom in August, when the rest of the summer plants are already starting to fade, and remain until the frost begins.

Growing seedlings

A more laborious way to grow dahlias is with seedlings. It is chosen so that the first bright inflorescences appear in late May or early June. To do this, it is necessary to prepare separate pots or boxes for seedlings, soil and seeds at the beginning of spring.

When growing annual dahlias with seedlings, it is worth acting according to a certain algorithm:

in April, seeds are scattered over the surface of the soil in one large box, they are covered with earth from above and tamped a little;
the first shoots will begin to appear in a week, and the plants may become cramped in one container;
when the first pair of leaves grows, each flower is placed in a separate small pot;
already grown dahlias are planted in the ground at the end of spring, and very soon the first inflorescences begin to appear on them.

In May, when the air temperature becomes steadily high and does not decrease at night, the seedlings can be planted in open ground.

Medium varieties of dahlias are located at a distance of 30-60 cm from each other, but this figure depends on the type of plant. Before planting in the soil, seedlings of annual dahlias must be hardened.

To do this, it is worth leaving a container with young flowers on open balconies or first taking them out into the street in the daytime.

Caring for annual dahlias

Annual dahlias are easy to care for. Unlike perennial varieties, they do not need to be fed regularly, since they do not have time to use up soil reserves.

If other plants have previously grown on this land, during the planting of dahlias, you can add organic fertilizing (humus, compost), as well as mineral potassium or sodium mixtures.

During the flowering period, wood ash will be useful.

There are several rules for caring for annual dahlias:

it is worth watering flowers only when they suffer from severe drought;
if you periodically pluck the tops of the shoots, the bush will grow more lush;
the soil in the flowerbed should be regularly loosened, while trying not to damage the rhizome;
after flowering, you can collect seed boxes and plant them next year.

To decorate the garden, it is worth choosing the annual varieties of dahlias. In addition to being easy to care for, they are distinguished by longer flowering. The first buds appear in early June, and the last ones wither only with the onset of frost.

Which variety should you choose?

Before planting, you should familiarize yourself with the varieties of annual dahlias with photos and names. Some of them will not grow more than 20-20 cm (undersized), so they are not suitable for decorating bouquets. Tall varieties can grow up to 70-90 cm in height and can form a veritable hedge. Among the most popular varieties of annual dahlias are:

Figaro is a low bush (up to 45 cm), on which lush multi-colored inflorescences are formed;
Piccolo is another undersized bush (up to 40-45 cm), on the flowers of which the core and petals are clearly distinguished;
Unvins Dwarf is a taller plant, can reach 60 cm.

Growing annual dahlias is an easy way to get vibrant flowers with little investment or preparation.

Tall plants make beautiful bouquets or hedges, and low-growing annual dahlias form small borders. They are easy to care for, do not require winter preparation and fertilization.

In addition, the seeds of the plant can be collected by yourself and left for planting next season.

They combine the advantages of their predecessors, differing in color and shape, size and type of inflorescences.

Russian lovers of garden beds know about 150 varieties of these flowers. But in the world there are dozens of times more of them, and each species has its own unique appearance, for example, the dahlia Santa Claus.

And the old annuals and tuberous varieties known for a long time and loved by our grandmothers, such as Cheerful Guys or Summer Dahlia, had a number of disadvantages. They are gradually being supplanted by new, better proposals from French, Dutch and Russian breeders who have brought forth Vernost and other garden favorites.

In order to somehow streamline the general idea of the diversity of this "king of flower beds", it is worth getting acquainted with their description and classification.

International classification of dahlias

Once upon a time, dahlia flowers were a curiosity for Europeans - they were brought from Mexico and other countries of the New World, according to the description of eyewitnesses.They immediately attracted the fancy of the French kings and their favorites. Large flowers came to Russia much later - under the name "dahlia" (in honor of the Swedish botanist), and abroad it is called "dahlia". Plants multiply easily:

basal cuttings;
seeds;
tubers.

Dahlias are unpretentious and, in addition to abundant watering and a well-lit area in the garden, do not require special care or difficult conditions for cultivation.

Dwarf dahlias in landscape design coexist well with other flowers and compete in beauty. Large varieties of dahlias are planted singly, as the main decoration of the flower bed, undersized varieties - in groups.

In flower beds, a short dahlia-minion quickly takes root on loam and sandy loam soils.

Due to the variability of forms and flexibility in the creation of hybrids, European breeders are actively engaged in the development of new varieties of "dahlia".

New hybrid forms are not so easy to find and purchase in Russia, but domestic Michurins are also actively looking for new types of dahlias. Nurseries offer novelties for export and planting in their country of the Dahlia Fidelity.

From abroad, Dutch material comes here, such as the Kelvin Floodlight lemon dahlia.

According to the catalogs, today there are about 15 thousand varieties of this flower in the world, in connection with which it became necessary to classify its varieties. It is customary to combine them according to various criteria - annuals and perennial forms. There are simple (single-row flat-colored) and decorative varieties of dahlias, but the main classification affects the type of inflorescence:

terry;
non-double;
anemone;
peony;
collar;
spherical;
pompom-shaped;
cactus;
semi-cactus;
transitional forms.

There are botanical varieties with original color of leaves - purple and maroon, such as Yellow Hammer. Breeders have also bred multi-colored varieties that bloom profusely throughout the summer.

There are small dwarf dahlias that are suitable for planting in pots and boxes on balconies.

They are good for group planting, and for single cultivation, hybrid varieties with large inflorescences are preferred, such as the volatile Monarch of the East dahlia.

What varieties of dahlia to choose to decorate different parts of the garden?

Giant dahlias are quite rare, they belong to decorative hybrid varieties. There are large inflorescences larger than a child's head, they reach 25 cm in diameter. They are planted where there is no strong wind that can break a heavy flower. These large, tall varieties (dahlia maxi Le Baron) are used singly or in small groups at the fence.

Smaller flowers, such as the creamy Crazy Love (or "crazy love") dahlia, are most sought after by buyers who prefer to purchase planting material through catalogs.

These highly decorative plants have a thick stem that is resistant to wind.

They are common in Europe and in our country: in single and group plantings, a magnificent blue dahlia, as a hedge in 1-2 rows. Their flowers reach 20-23 cm.

The most popular among domestic gardeners are varieties with medium-sized inflorescences, within 15-20 cm, which are unpretentious, but differ in a variety of flower shapes and shades.

They are well suited for planting in 1-2 rows, as a hedge or for decorating a chain-link fence.

This is a favorite planting material for the collection of new varieties of dahlia Edinburgh, Vancouver, Madame Peak, Color Spectacle, Akita, Ankres, Vitemans Brest, Lucky, Vernost, etc.

The most popular are unpretentious plant varieties with smaller flowers, up to 12-15 cm in diameter, which are bred by domestic and Dutch breeders.Today they decorate gardens and flower beds along with their larger relatives: Mystery Day, Evelyn, May Love, Alfred Grill, Moonlight (Sonata) and Dahlia Nambert 1.

Miniature, luxuriantly flowering annuals and dwarf dahlias with full inflorescences up to 10 cm in diameter belong to flower beds, balcony and border varieties. Compact bushes reach 60 cm in height, like the Vancouver dahlia. They are often used for planting in pots on glazed loggias in the northern regions, for summer and all-season gardening.

It is difficult to imagine flower beds and gardens without the Color Spectacle dahlia blooming from summer to October frosts. Curb varieties are classified:

undersized up to 60 cm;
medium height up to 1m;
tall over 1.2m (like Evelyn).

The blue dahlia is used to decorate garden paths. This is a luxurious decoration of a garden or suburban home ownership. These flowers are also good because they rise by the middle of summer and bloom until frost, passing the baton to chrysanthemums.

They are preferred on mixborders, where tulips and daffodils bloomed in spring. They are sown in the form of colored mixtures or only 1 variety of white dahlias is used.

For these purposes, annual forms of dahlias with familiar names, which reproduce not by tubers, but by seeds, are suitable: Minions, Preston Park or Funny Guys.

What are the most popular decorative dahlia varieties?

Each amateur gardener has a preference for a certain shape or a separate variety, for example, the Le Baron dahlia. They collect only spherical and pompom forms of this plant, which are good in a flower bed and in bouquets, like the Monarch dahlia. Experts recommend replenishing the collection with the best species and varieties:

Dahlia Daytona (compact bush with yellow "balls" up to 14 cm with crimson tips);
dahlia Evelyn (the so-called "wedding" variety, where flowers are cut for bouquets, each bush gives 5-7 large pompons);
Dahlia Boney Blue (lilac-blue on high peduncles);
dahlia Everest (a popular domestic early flowering variety with orange-red "balls").

For a single planting, cactus and semi-cactus varieties are suitable, the wallpaper varieties are known for excellent decorative properties. The characteristic subulate shape of the petals forms an inflorescence of unique beauty.

The most interesting varieties: Cha-Cha (white dahlia with red tips), Volcano (red), Aloha (orange-red), Bora Bora (cream with a yellow center and raspberry tips), Kalinka (lilac), Moonlight dahlia (bluish lilac), white Fidelity and dark red Idol.

Dwarf varieties are considered unpretentious, most of which are annual forms that reproduce by seeds. The most popular are Funny Guys and Minions, which have filled flower beds since Soviet times.

Simple forms are gradually being replaced by a more spectacular anemone variety, but it is propagated by tubers. The most beautiful representatives of the Dutch selection:

a pale pink Garden Show with red touches and a creamy yellow center;
Brindisii variety ("Brindisi") with characteristic strokes;
grade Life Style ("Life Style") with light purple petals and an orange center;
lilac with purple dahlias of the Blue Bayou variety, with a bright tubular core and framed by lilac ovoid petals.

The most demanded varieties

Peony, double and semi-double varieties of this plant are very popular, thanks to the large inflorescences, consisting of oblong petals, increasing from a pronounced center to the edges. This is a kind of "classic" dahlias for single planting and collectible flower beds.

Breeders annually replenish the collection of this most common spectacular form of large flowers with new shade options.The most popular semi-double and terry varieties are white dahlias, burgundy, red-white, yellow, orange and red. The blue dahlia is no less effective.

One of the latest hobbies of Dutch breeders is fringed varieties that are in demand in catalogs. The characteristic reed-tubular inflorescences with fringed edges resemble asters.

Red, blue and purple dahlias are often offered, as well as multi-colored forms: Claire de Luna, Edinburgh, Mauna Luna, Stripe Ambition, Table Dancer, Akita dahlia, Myrtle Folly, etc. look good.

They are always in demand in catalogs.

For cut cultivation (for bouquets and flowerpots), perennial varieties with large flowers on high peduncles are recommended.

And for landscaping, use low-growing, unpretentious varieties of such a unique exotic flower.

What dahlias are considered short?

Cultural dahlias are mostly perennial and tall. A large plant habit (a bush can reach 2–2.5 m) is laid by nature, hybrid specimens are more compact, 1–1.5 m tall. One of the latest trends in crop breeding is getting spectacular undersized varieties. They can be conditionally divided into 3 groups.

Curb - form a lush, neat, abundantly dotted with flowers, a bush 50-70 cm high.
Dwarf curbs - foreground flower in height not exceeding 30-40 cm.
Dwarf potted plants - adapted for cultivation in a container, but also used in the garden. The height of the bush is 23-30 cm.

The flower of low-growing varieties is not as large as that of tall dahlias, but it can have a varied shape - single-row (Mignon, Topmix groups), double, collar. The coloration is represented by all colors and shades characteristic of this culture.

Benefits of Miniature Varieties

Interest in short dahlias is associated with their botanical and decorative characteristics.

Unlike tall groups, they do not require so much light and space, they are suitable for small gardens.
The undoubted advantage is abundant (even leaves are not visible) and long flowering. When growing tubers, they bloom in June and last until frost.
They are easier to care for - they do not need to be tied up, shaped by pinching, pinching, pinning.
The plant itself is strong, with thick strong peduncles that do not break from wind and rain, practically does not get sick and is not damaged by pests.
Low-growing dahlias have wider decorative possibilities. They are used as border flowers, as a container culture - to decorate terraces, patios, balconies, they look great in carpet flower beds.
For smaller tubers, it is easier to find storage space.

Features of growing "babies"

Dahlias of low-growing varieties, with regard to planting and care, do not require special agronomic knowledge and agrotechnical techniques. If you have grown any bulbous plants, you can handle them without any problems. It is best to plant them with tubers. How - we will consider step by step.

Choosing and preparing a landing site

The plant is from southern latitudes (Mexico, Colombia, Chile), therefore it needs a lot of light. When planting dahlias in the garden, choose areas that are in the sun for at least 6 hours during the day. Arrange flower containers accordingly. In the shade, the plant will grow green and bloom much worse.

Flowers need soil that is loose, fertile, and sufficiently moisture-consuming. It is better to introduce humus, any other organic matter in the fall for deep digging.

When growing in containers for the smallest varieties of dahlia, we take containers with a volume of 5–6 liters, for varieties of Mignon, Impreshen - more (7–10 liters).Maximum attention is paid to the composition and fertility of the planting mixture, because "kids" will have to live in it all summer. It is best to use commercially available flowering soil.

Landing

Low-growing dahlias can be planted with sprouted tubers. To do this, in April they are planted in a pot, and at the end of May, June they are transferred into open ground. Unsprouted tubers are recommended to be soaked in water for 6-8 hours before planting.

The timing of planting is determined by the state of the soil at a depth of 10-15 cm - it should warm up to 10⁰ C. For the middle lane, this is not earlier than the second half of May.

One of the reasons why you cannot rush to planting is that dahlias do not deeply deepen, and they sprout rather quickly. The depth of the hole (groove) is determined in such a way that the tuber, laid horizontally, is covered with a 5–7 cm layer of soil. In containers, there should be at least 2.5 cm between the root collar and the soil surface.

The distance between plants for dwarf varieties is 20-25 cm.

The grown tubers must be hardened before transshipment into the ground.

Subtleties of care

After the emergence of seedlings, the plants are regularly loosened, cleaned of weeds, slightly huddled to stimulate vegetative processes and make the bushes more resistant.

Dahlia is a drought-resistant crop, it needs watering only if there is no rain for a long time. In the hot summer months, watering is usually practiced 1 time in 7-10 days, 5-7 liters under a bush.

If humus was introduced during planting, you can not feed the flowers at all, or do this no earlier than July. During budding and flowering, phosphorus-potassium dressings (40 g / m²) give a good effect, which is applied every 2-3 weeks. Since mid-August, fertilizers are not recommended to be applied, since at this time the tuber is already ripening.

For dahlias of low-growing varieties when planted in containers and care is somewhat different. Due to the limited volume of soil, they are watered more often - 2-3 times a week or as the earthy coma dries up. They are fed, starting in June, twice a month.

It is better to use special targeted complexes with a predominance of potassium and phosphorus and a small amount of nitrogen.

Remember to remove dried flowers. This stimulates the growth of new buds and increases the decorative effect of the flower bed.
