Growing Dahlia Cactus Cabana Banana

Plant these tubers in the spring once danger of frost has passed. Select a site with full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Dig holes 2–4 inches deep and space the tubers about 18 inches apart to allow for mature spread and airflow.

Climate and Soil Requirements

This variety performs best in USDA zones 8–10. In cooler zones, lift and store tubers in a dry, frost-free location after the first frost. Dahlias thrive in enriched, well-draining soil and benefit from regular mulching and feeding.

Sunlight and Watering

Provide full sun for optimal flowering. Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Care and Maintenance

Deadhead spent blooms to encourage new growth and prolong blooming. Stake taller plants to support their heavy blooms. In fall, lift and store tubers in colder regions for replanting next spring.
