Plant horizontally at around 10–12 cm deep with the eyes facing upwards, giving each tuber plenty of room to spread. Feed with a high-nitrogen liquid feed weekly in June while growth establishes, then switch to a high-potash feed weekly from July through September to fuel flowering. Stake with canes or brushwood as the plant grows. In the Baltic climate, dahlias will not survive winter in the ground: lift the tubers after the first frost blackens the foliage, let them dry naturally, then store in trays of lightly moistened compost, sand or vermiculite in a cool, frost-free place until spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0 0 0 1rem;border-left:3px solid #f0b429;margin-bottom:1.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:0.7rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.1em;font-weight:600;margin-bottom:0.5rem;color:#b88000;\"\u003e✂️ For cutting\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.9rem;line-height:1.65;color:#2d3d2e;\"\u003eCut in the cool of the morning when the flower is about three-quarters open; dahlias don't continue to open much in the vase once cut. Plunge stems straight into deep cold water and expect 5–7 days of vase life. The open, cushioned centre of 'Bayou' gives bees and butterflies easy access to pollen, making it a good wildlife choice as well. Pairs beautifully with rich burgundy foliage, grasses, and softer pink dahlias for moody late-summer arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Aventari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53766274548039,"sku":null,"price":2.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/0831\/8791\/files\/Baltic-Flowers-Dahlia-Bayou-Seeds-1.jpg?v=1777051853","url":"https:\/\/balticflowers.com\/products\/dahlia-bayou","provider":"Baltic Flowers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
