DAHLIA 'Gallery Salvador'( GALLERY SERIES) PP10501
Dahlia, Decorative Dahlia, Gallery Salvador Dahlia
Nothing beats dahlias as everblooming bedding plants and cut flowers, and the heavy-flowering ‘Gallery Salvador’ is no exception. This compact, well-branched dahlia has lustrous dark green foliage, and produces many exquisite formal decorative blooms of ivory heavily blushed with salmon-pink and rusty red.
This warm season herbaceous tender perennial grows from bulbous underground tubers and has a bushy habit. Its lush compound leaves are rich green with toothed margins. The colorful flowers appear continuously and are attractive to bees and butterflies. Remove the old buds from spent flowers to encourage heavier flowering.
Dahlias prefer well-drained, fertile soil and full to partial sun. Ideally, night temperatures should be comfortably cool, and days should lack overbearing humidity. Most hybrids are propagated from divisions or root cuttings to preserve their unique characteristics. In colder regions, plant starts after the danger of frost has passed. In frost free zones, they can be planted in fall for continuous winter color. Dahlias are cold sensitive and their tuberous roots should be lifted and overwintered in a cool dry location, where not hardy. They are unsurpassed as bedding or small container plants, and make nice cutflowers.
