Juul's Allstar
ADS: 9207, O, DR
Height: 5’
Bloom: 5-7”, Orchid
Notes: Juul’s Allstar is truly a star. This magnificent dahlia placed first for me at the Victoria Dahlia Society show last year. It is a tall, enthusiastic plant that produces masses of blooms all season long. The incurved petals are yellow on the inside and dark fuchsia on the reverse. When picked just as it is opening, these make for excellent cut flowers. If the bees get to them before you do, the petals will drop too easily to be used in bouquets. A pollinator magnet! This plant is susceptible to powdery mildew when nighttime temperatures cool; remove leaves at the base of the plant (first foot of height) when it is over 3’ tall and at first sign of powdery mildew in the fall, spritz leaves with skim milk to control the spread.

For best results, grow your dahlias in a sunny spot, with fertile, well-drained soil. Stake flowers for support and deadhead/ harvest blooms regularly. This will encourage the plant to keep producing flowers. Lift tubers after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place where they won’t freeze. In March, they can be potted up and kept in a temperate greenhouse before planting out, or tubers can be planted directly into the garden after the risk of frost has passed. We plant directly into prepared beds, with a handful of organic fertilizer into each hole. Once planted, the tubers do not need water until shoots have emerged from the soil, as it can cause them to rot. Once they get growing, they will need regular watering, approximately every three days or more if the weather is hot.
