Eveline Decorative Dahlia

‘Eveline Decorative Dahlia is an eye-catching addition to the hot summer colors of summer. Lavender-violet brushes the tips of the white petals as well for a sensational addition to the summer-to-fall garden. The more you cut the flowers the more buds appear. At 3-4 feet tall, place Eveline at the back of a bed or where it can show off as a focal point to the garden. Deer avoid Dahlias, while hummingbirds and butterflies are attracted to them.

Dahlias are perennial in zones 8-10, but in cooler zones, tubers can be dug after frost comes, stored over winter, then re-planted the following spring. Grow Dahlias in a sunny spot, in average soil that drains well. Keep moisture consistent once it begins to grow and enjoy a non-stop color parade. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers and pinch off small side buds to encourage larger flowers if desired.
