Fertilize:
Dahlia 'Karma Sangria' prefers fertile soil and requires liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days during early growth. Use nitrogen-rich fertilizers initially, transitioning to phosphate-potassium later. Stop fertilizing when flower buds show color, and avoid fertilizing in high temperatures. Leaf symptoms indicate fertilizer levels.
Pruning:
Dahlia 'Karma Sangria' boasts vibrant blooms and lush foliage, ideal for gardens. Prune in early spring and pinch spent flowers for continuous flowering. Thinning the center improves air circulation, reducing disease risks. Regular pruning enhances shape and vigor, ensuring a stunning display throughout the growing season.
