Spend a few minutes deadheading each week when the gardenias are actively in bloom. After the main flush of flowering is over, remove any remaining spent blooms and prune back the tips. Tip pruning encourages branching so the gardenia can produce more flower buds the following season.
1 There's no need to water the soil until the dahlia plants appear; in fact, overwatering can cause tubers to rot. 2  After dahlias are established, provide a deep watering 2 to 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes with a sprinkler (and more in dry, hot climates). Don't be in a hurry to plant; dahlias will struggle in cold soil. 2  Ground temperature should reach 60Â°F. Wait until all danger of spring frost is past before planting. ( 3 We plant them a little after the tomato plants go in.). 4  Select a planting site with full sun.
