Stolze von Berlin was introduced in 1884, according to the German website Dahlie.net. I was surprised that she has been around that long. If you are interested in Dahlia information, this website might be fun for you, too. You can find almost any Dahlia here, with information about the group they belong to, their colour, height, and size of their flowers, anything you might want to know.
But to tell you something more specific about Stolze von Berlin: Whenever I encounter a variety that has been around for this long, I tend to trust them right away, because honestly: If there was anything wrong with it, we’d have discovered it by now. Therefore, Stolze von Berlin must be doing something right. A reliable Dahlia that blooms enthusiastically and abundantly.

Dahlias
The Dahlia truly deserves every bit of love she receives. Every gardener should be placing her om a pedestal: Dahlias carry flowers for a long time, and in a large number. Even when autumn is approaching, you don’t need to worry: the Dahlia will be there to give your garden those last few rays of sunshine.
Planting dahlias:
Dahlias are summer bloomers and should be planted in spring, after the last night frost, when the soil temperature is at least 15°C. Plant the tubers about 40 cm apart for tall varieties and 30 cm for shorter varieties. For pots, choose very large pots, because dahlias need a lot of water in the warm summer months. Plant them just under the soil, about 2 cm deep.
Dahlia care
When your Dahlia is a few weeks old and has formed 3 or 4 pairs of leaves, you can choose to pinch out the top growth point. This may sound strange, disturbing a plant in its growth, but it ensures that the Dahlia becomes more compact and fuller in shape. Because the growth point has been pinched out, 2 new stems emerge from the leaf axils of the two leaves below. So you get a fuller Dahlia in return. If you do this, you will delay the first flowering of the Dahlia by about a week.
