I love her! I love her! I loooove her!
The romantic version of the "Labyrinth" - nuanced petals that go delicately and seemingly seamlessly from the greenish-yellow center through cream to lilac.
Large flowers . And a wonderful cut flower .
She looks stunning with " Creme de Cassis ", " Hemisphere " and " Karma Prospero ".
Tip: Pinch dahlias as soon as they are 20 to 30 cm high: simply shorten the shoot tip by a third. Then they will form several shoots, more flowers and become bushier.

🐝 Dahlias are often wrongly described as flowers that are not insect-friendly. However, as soon as the flowers open - even if they are densely filled - they release their stamens and are accessible to bees and other insects.
Flower happiness guarantee: You should enjoy your dahlias 100%. Sometimes nature does what it wants and that's actually quite nice, but not always in the interest of us gardeners. In rare cases, a tuber doesn't sprout. If that's the case for you, please contact me! We'll find a solution 💚
