Dahlia Pinnata 'Orange Nugget' Growing & Care Guide

Sunlight Requirements

Dahlias thrive in full sun, so be sure to plant them in a spot that gets at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. If you're growing them in pots, placing them on a sunny patio or balcony will ensure strong blooms.

Soil & Watering Needs

A tuber is a swollen root structure that stores energy but requires “eyes” (growth points) to sprout new plants—similar to a potato. Dahlia tubers look like small, elongated potatoes with multiple "fingers" attached to a central stem. Each viable tuber must have at least one eye (or bud) to grow a new plant. When planting or dividing dahlia tubers, it's important to ensure each section has a growth point to successfully produce a new plant.

These tubers prefer well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter. Sandy or loamy soil works best. Dahlias like consistent moisture, but avoid soggy conditions—too much water can lead to tuber rot. A deep watering two to three times a week is ideal, especially in hotter climates.

Fertilizing for Maximum Blooms

To get the best performance from your Orange Nugget Dahlias, use a low-nitrogen fertilizer (like one formulated for vegetables) once plants are established. Too much nitrogen will lead to lush foliage but fewer flowers. A fertilizer with a ratio around 5-10-10 or 10-20-20 is a good choice.

Staking & Support

Given their compact size, Orange Nugget Dahlias typically do not require staking. However, if planted in windy areas or rich soil that promotes taller growth, providing support can help maintain an upright appearance.

Overwintering & Storage

In warm zones (8-11), dahlias can stay in the ground year-round. If you live in a colder region, you’ll need to dig up the tubers before the first hard frost and store them in a cool, dry place over winter. Once spring returns, simply replant them for another season of spectacular blooms
