A real show-off in the garden, Dahlia Pacific Ocean produces really beautiful two-tone blooms of yellow and pink.

One for the connoisseur, flowering during late summer and autumn.

Grow Dahlia Pacific Ocean in full sun and in a well-drained soil.

Dahlia Pacific Ocean will reach about 1 meter in height and is perfect for growing as a cut flower.

Like all other species, this variety grows from a thick underground tuber from which in the spring grow herbaceous erect and brittle stems with dark green, elongated elliptical leaves and jagged edges

From mid-July until the end of October, beautiful 2.5-inch-diameter flowers appear on the tops of the stems, consisting of several layers of ring-arranged, upward curled petals with a yellow center and pink edges.

This robust plant grows almost three feet tall and two feet wide, forming a compact upright shrub.

Planting
The tubers of the Pacific Ocean dahlia can be planted in the ground only when its temperature has reached 60 F, which is in the northern hemisphere in the second half of April. Plant them at a depth of three to four inches and at a distance of at least 1.5 feet.

Soil
Dahlia prefers slightly acidic to neutral, well-drained soil rich in nutrients. You can enrich your garden soil with compost, manure or fish bone meal to ensure that this fast-growing species has enough nutrients necessary for proper growth.

Fleshy tubers are prone to rot, so avoid heavy soils where water stays for a long time,

Light
If you want an abundance of flowers, choose a very sunny location because dahlias need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. If you plant it in a too shady area, it will become leggy and give you much fewer flowers.
