Dahlias

How to plant Dahlias

Planting in the Garden

  • If panting in the garden, plant in late spring once the risk of frost has passed.
  • Find a good location with plenty of sun and drainage.
  • Cover your tubers with 3cm (1-2") of soil.
  • Allow approx. 30cm spacing between each tuber. (The spacing may vary depending on the final size of the variety.)
  • Douse the hole with a watering can full of water and cane as you plant.
  • Mulch over to protect them from the risk of any frost.
  • Planting in Pots/Containers
  • If planting in pots, start them off indoors until the risk of frost has passed.
  • Keep them indoors in a frost-free location like a greenhouse before transferring them outside after the last frosts.
  • Plant 1 x tuber in a 2-3litre pot or 12" in diameter.
  • Cover your tubers with 3cm (1-2") of soil.
  • Use a good-quality, multipurpose compost.

Aftercare/Overwintering

  • Once your dahlias have finished flowering and the first frosts have blackened the foliage, cut the plants back to the ground.
  • In well-drained soils, leave the tubers in the ground and mulch over to protect against frosts.
  • In colder climates or heavier soils, lift and store your tubers over winter.
  • If lifting and storing over winter, cut back foliage and carefully lift the tubers out of the soil. Allow the tubers to dry off naturally and then clean away any soil. Trim the stems back and cut off any fine roots. Make sure the tubers are completely dry before storing them into open trays or boxes. Pack with dry sand. Leave the crowns exposed.
  • Replant the following spring.
  • Must be kept frost free.
  • Once the risk of frosts have passed and you start to see signs of growth again, the mulch can be removed.
  • Water regularly during active growth periods.
  • See 'Care Instructions' for more information.

Lilies

How to plant Lilies

  • Lily Bulbs should be planted as soon as possible. Ideally in the Spring but can be planted up until the Autumn if they have been professionally held back in cold store.
  • Find a location with full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil.
  • Lilies tend to grow exceptionally well in pots and tubs.
  • Plant the bulbs with 4-6" of soil above them.

Planting Lilies in the Garden

  • Find a location with full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil.
  • Different lilies like different soil types, please check each variety on our website for the preferred soil.
  • Arrange the Lilies in an odd-number grouping.
  • Plant the bulbs about 12-20cm (5-8") apart.
  • Space the groupings at least 60-90cm (2-3ft) apart.
  • Plant the bulbs with 10-15cm (4-6") of soil above them.

Planting Lilies in Pots

  • Find a location with full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil.
  • Plant 3 bulbs in a 10-14" 'patio type' pot using good-quality, multi-purpose compost. 
  • John Innes No. 3 is ideal for lilies.
  • Plant the bulbs with 10-15" (4-6") of soil above them.
  • Ensure there is adequate drainage. 

Gladioli

How to plant Gladioli

  • Position your corms in Full Sun to partial shade in well-drained, moist soil.
  • Plant your corms 10-16cm (4-6") deep and 10cm (4") apart. 
  • Plant in pots or directly in the garden. 
  • See 'Care Instructions' for protecting over the winter months.

Begonias

How to plant Begonias

  • Begonia Tubers are ideal for containers, pots or tubs. They can also be transplanted to the garden beds. 
  • Plant in the spring for summer flowering. 

Planting In Pots

  • Plant your tubers in the Spring. Starting them off indoors in the early spring months whilst there is still a risk of frost. 
  • Use a multi-purpose compst in full sun / partial shade. 
  • Ensure you have drainage holes in your pots and add grit to encourage free draining. 
  • We advise planting 3 x tubers into an average-sized container.
  • Position the Begonia tubers just below the compost surface with the 'hole' of the tuber facing up, cover with 2-3cm (1") of compost. 
  • Space your tubers about 8-10cm (3-4") apart depending on your pot size. 

Planting In the Garden

  • After the last frosts (usually March/April), you can plant your Begonia tubers outside in a well-drained soil in a sunny position.
  • Unlike other garden bulbs with a pointy tip, Begonia tubers have a hollow hole in the centre of them, plant them with this hole pointing upwards. 
  • Plant your Begonias shallowly, covering them with just 2-3cm (1") of soil. Space your tubers about 25cm (10") apart.

Care Instructions


Dahlias

How to care for Dahlias

Care:

  • Support Dahlias with canes on planting and tie in as growth develops.
  • When your Dahlias reach about 40cm in height, pinch out the growing tips with your thumb and forefinger or use a sharp knife. This will encourage branching.
  • Water once a week with a good amount not just a little sprinkle.
  • Deadhead flowers as they fade.

Overwintering:

  • Once the first frosts have blackened the foliage, cut the plants back to the ground.
  • In well-drained soils, leave the tubers in the ground and cover with a generous layer of bark chips or compost to protect them from frost.
  • In colder climates or heavier soils, lift and store your tubers over winter.  
  • Replant the following spring. 

Lifting and Storing over winter:

  • Cut back foliage and carefully lift the tubers out of the soil.
  • Allow the tubers to dry off naturally and then clean away any soil. 
  • Trim the stems back to 15-20cm and cut off any fine roots.
  • Make sure the tubers are completely dry before storing them into open trays or boxes. Pack with peat-free compost or dry sand. Leave the crowns exposed.

Lilies

How to care for Lilies

  • Lilies can tolerate very cold conditions but they do not like to get wet.
  • If planting in borders in the garden, the soil must be well drained and, preferably, humus rich.
  • If planting in pots, make sure lilies are kept moist but do not get waterlogged.
  • Lilies prefer to be planted in a location with at least half a day’s full sunshine, if it’s a bit too shady they will lean their stems towards the sun.
  • Lily bulbs do not like to be dried out so they must be kept in soil at all times.
  • Try to plant your lilies where they will dry out after rain to prevent Botrytis, a fungus that spots the leaves. If you do see brown spots on your leaves, spray with a fungicide recommended for roses.
    If planting in pots, it may be an idea to tilt the pots on their side in the winter to prevent waterlog.
  • When the Lily has finished flowering, cut any seed heads back and allow the foliage to die back naturally. Do not be tempted to cut the stem back until stems becomes hollow and brown.
  • Lilies like a cold dormant phase throughout winter so they do not need lifting. Do ensure they have adequate drainage so they don't get waterlogged as this will cause the bulbs to rot. 
  • After a few years of flowering, you may find your Oriental Trumpet Lily produces less blooms, it may be time to lift your bulbs and divide them by breaking off the bulblets. All the bulbs will then need replanting.
  • To prevent Lily Beetles from damaging your lilies, we recommend using the Lily Beetle Prevention Spray or you can make up your own with the Concentrate. This Spray (Grazers G4) will also stimulate growth of your lilies.
  • You can feed your lilies with a Tomato Feed to stimulate and strengthen your lilies when you start to see signs of growth. Make up your tomato feed with half the recommended dilution (written on the instructions on the bottle) and feed once every 3 weeks. 

 


Mixed Gladioli

How to care for Gladioli

  • If in pots, stop watering at the end of Summer and bring then indoors for winter to protect against frost.In a greenhouse, shed or garage will be fine. 
  • Place back outside once the danger of winter frosts has passed. 

Begonias

How to care for Begonias 

  • Feed and water Begonia plants frequently throughout the growing season. Take care not to over water.
  • Deadhead faded flower heads regularly, this will encourage new growth for longer.
  • Once the Begonia flowering season has finished, the stems and foliage will turn yellow and die back naturally.
  • Reduce watering to prevent rotting.
  • Once all the stems have fallen off naturally, dig out the tubers, clean and dry them before storing them away in peat or sand in a dry, frost-free area like a garage or shed.
  • Replant the following February.
