Growing in Kuwait

• For Kuwait conditions, Dahlia ‘Danique’ is best grown during the cooler growing season after extreme summer temperatures have declined.
• A practical planting period is: October to November
• Plant tubers with the crown and growing eyes facing upward in fertile, well-drained soil, approximately 8–10 cm deep.
• Avoid excessive watering before active growth begins. Once shoots and roots develop, gradually increase watering while maintaining excellent drainage.
• Provide good sunlight during the cooler months, with some protection from intense afternoon heat as temperatures rise toward the end of the season.
• Because commercial plants may reach approximately 110–120 cm, staking is recommended.
