About Blue Boy Dahlia (Decorative)

Blue Boy, a show-stopping Decorative Semi-dinnerplate Dahlia, introduces a truly unique and captivating hue to the world of Dahlias. On sunny days, its flowers feature cool, lilac-pink tones, while on evenings or overcast days, the colour transforms into a serene periwinkle-blue. The strong, upright stems hold 6-inch (15 cm) blossoms, always double in form, featuring rounded, slightly scooped, ruffled petals that create both structure and visual depth.

Pairing Blue Boy with shades of pink, purple or silver creates a stunning visual effect. Alternatively, its cooling tones serve as an excellent contrast amid warmer-hued flowers. This Dahlia variety will elevate any summer garden, blooming consistently until the first frost, all the while attracting butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators. With a great vase life (up to one week), these blooms are a top choice for mixed bouquets.

How to Grow Dahlia

Planting Dahlia

  • Plant in spring after the last frost.
  • If you cannot plant your bulbs and perennials right away, store them in a cool, dry, darklocation, like a basement.
  • Plant the Dahlia with the crown 5 cm (2 in) below the soil surface and 50 to 60 cm (20 to 24 in) apart.
  • Water thoroughly after planting.

Growing Dahlia

  • Pinch shoot tips twice to encourage fullness, first after 2 or 3 sets of leaves have developed, and again after a few weeks.
  • These bulbs like a lot of water.
  • Dahlias love to be fed. Fertilize your Dahlia regularly.

Dahlia Care

  • Dahlias will bloom the entire summer.
  • Remove all spent flowers with clippers to boost further flower production. The more you cut, the more they bloom.
  • Stake taller varieties.
  • After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.

Winterizing Dahlia

  • These bulbs are not winter hardy and need to be dug up after the first frost.
  • Do not wash but dry the bulbs for a day.
  • Store away from drafts at 5 °C to 10 °C (40 °F to 50 °F) in a paper bag or box filled with peat moss or vermiculite.
