It was cultivated and probably improved by the Aztecs for generations before Spanish explorers first saw it in the 16th century. The American Dahlia Society currently recognizes 17 distinct categories of dahlias on the basis of flower shape. general maintenance: For garden plants, pinch out center growing point early in the season to encourage bushiness. For exhibition-quality blooms, pinch out some side shoots and buds to encourage fewer but larger blooms. Stake to support bushy plants and heavy flowers. pests/diseases: Caterpillars, slugs, snails, aphids, gray mold verticillium wilt, fusarium, and dahlia mosaic virus may occur. controls: Handpick caterpillars, slugs, and snails. Spread diatomaceous earth around plants to discourage slugs. Regularly hose off aphids with a directed stream of water or apply insecticidal soap, following label directions. To control gray mold and mosaic virus, remove diseased foliage and flowers or entire plants if severely diseased. To control verticillium wilt and fusarium, reduce soil moisture or remove and destroy severely infected plants. Avoid planting dahlias in the same place year after year to reduce risk of verticillium wilt and fusariam. how to sow/plant: Plant in compost-rich, well-drained beds or containers in spring when soil has warmed. To avoid piercing tubers, insert support stakes in soil before planting. Set tubers 4?6 inches deep and at least 2 feet apart. Water after planting, and mulch to conserve moisture. water and fertilize:Maintain soil moisture all season. Feed weekly with an all-purpose fertilizer (5-10-5), following label directions. garden hint: In mild climates (Zones 8?10), dahlia tubers may be left in the ground year-round.

Prefers fertile, alkaline, somewhat gritty loams with good drainage. Plants may die out in the center if drainage is not superior. ‘Brilliant Star’ is reportedly a perpetual bloomer that will bloom spring to frost in cool summer climates, however it is not yet clear how this plant will respond to the heat and humidity of a St. Louis summer. Consider shearing off all spent flowering stems if bloom ceases in the heat of summer in order to tidy the planting and to promote additional bloom in late summer or early fall. Noteworthy Characteristics: Developed in England, the Star Series is a new group of hybrid dianthus cultivars derived from alpine dianthus. Star Series plants are clump-forming plants that are noted for compact growth, fragrant blooms, abundant flowering and lengthy bloom period. Narrow, lance-shaped, glaucous dark green leaves typically form a dense mounded cushion (to 5” tall). ‘Brilliant Star’ features pure white, fragrant (clove-scented), double flowers with dark magenta eye zones. Flowers bloom singly atop stems rising slightly above the foliage mound. Lenghty bloom period of spring to late summer and possibly to frost. Plant patent #13,025 issued October 1, 2002. Problems: No serious insect or disease problems. Dianthus is generally susceptible to crown rot, particularly if grown in wet, poorly drained soils. Leaf spot may occur in humid summers, particularly where plants are crowded. Uses: Rock gardens, border fronts, edgings, fragrance gardens and containers. When massed, these mat-forming plants can form an attractive ground cover. - | 'Brilliant Star' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
