Growing Dahlia Wizard Of Oz starts with choosing the right location. Tubers love sunny positions and require humus-rich, well-draining soil so they don't rot. Don't rush to plant outside; the ideal time is when the spring frosts have passed, i.e., in May to June. Plant the tuber to a depth of 10–15 cm, lay it horizontally, and make sure the "eye" is facing upwards. Maintain a spacing of 30–50 cm, as this variety needs room. If you can't wait for the first flowers, you can start the tubers in pots at home or in a greenhouse from March. The plants will then be stronger and bloom earlier.
During growth, caring for the plant's shape and stability is key. Given its height of 80–160 cm, it is necessary to provide the plants with sturdy support so the stems don't break under the weight of the flowers or the influence of the wind. Once the plant forms several pairs of true leaves, pinch off the top shoot. This will encourage branching and give you a richer clump with more flowers. Don't forget to water – dahlias like moisture but hate being waterlogged. Regarding nutrition, at the beginning of the season, support growth with a fertilizer predominantly containing nitrogen (e.g., pelleted poultry manure or Kristalon Start). As soon as the first buds appear, switch to fertilizers with a higher potassium content (e.g., Kristalon Fruit and Flower), which ensures beautiful coloration and firm flowers.
For use in bouquets, harvest the flowers when they are about three-quarters open. Check the back of the flower – the petals should be firm and fresh. Because dahlias do not open much further after being cut, do not harvest them too early. To extend vase life (approx. a week), dip the ends of the stems immediately after cutting into water at 70–80 °C for 15 minutes. Also, don't forget to remove dead flowers from the plant; this will extend blooming until the first frosts.
Since dahlias are not frost-hardy (0 °C), you must dig up the tubers when the first frosts arrive and burn the above-ground part. Clean them, let them dry, and store them in the dark and cold, for example in a box with sawdust or sand. If you want to propagate the plant, you can divide the tubers in the spring or use cuttings from sprouted shoots. When growing, watch out for slugs that can destroy young shoots, and monitor for aphids or thrips that can transmit viral diseases.
