About Dahlias
Vigoro Cabana Banana Cactus Dahlia is a pale, banana yellow blossom, lightly brushed in salmon blush. This gorgeous blossom is
a can’t miss in any landscape with its rolled petals, 7” wide blooms, and 44-48” tall stems. Attractive to pollinators and gardeners
alike, the Cabana Banana is a delightfully cheerful dahlia which promises to bring a splash of sunshine to your garden. Vigoro
Cabana Banana Cactus Dahlia Flower Bulbs are premium size; grown, inspected, and imported from the world-renowned growers
in Holland.
Healthy soil should have good tilth, nutrient content,
and a viable population of beneficial microorganisms.
We recommend using natural and organic ingredients
to prepare the soil and maintain soil fertility. It is always
a good idea to have a soil test to identify your soil type
(sandy, loam, silt, clay) and find out your soil pH.
1. Plant dahlias in the spring after the ground has thawed and
there is no longer danger of frost.
2. Choose a location with well-drained soil that receives full
sun. Loosen soil prior to planting.
3. Dig a hole in loosened soil 6” deep. Place the bare root in
the hole with the roots/tubers down and any sprouts facing
up. Space each bulb 12” apart.
4. Cover with soil and water well so that the soil above the
bulbs settles. Keep soil moist during periods of dry weather
but do not overwater.
