Growing in Kuwait

• For Kuwait conditions, Dahlia ‘Maxime’ is best grown during the cooler growing season after extreme summer temperatures have declined…..
• A practical planting period is: October to November
• Plant the tubers approximately 5–10 cm deep, positioning the crown and growing eyes upward.
• Avoid excessive watering immediately after planting. Once shoots emerge and active roots develop, gradually increase watering while maintaining excellent drainage.
• Provide strong sunlight during the cooler months, with some protection from intense afternoon heat as temperatures rise toward the end of the season.
• Because plants grow to around 110 cm tall, staking or plant support is recommended.
