Description
Dahlia ‘Strawberries N’ Cream’
Dahlia ‘Strawberries N’ Cream’ is the first to start blooming in my garden and will be twice the height when it finishes flowering at the end of the season!
The plant just keeps getting bigger and taller as the weeks and months pass.
Warm rose pink flowers fade to white at the tips that stand up well to the weather.
This plant produces a vast amount for flowers that are the perfect size for bouquets.
Glorious in the garden, I plant mine next to Dahlia ‘Peaches ‘N Cream’, they look divine together!
Very vigorous! Passionately recommended!

Cutting /Vase Life:
Dahlias do not continue to open once cut so pick when blooms are ¾ of the way open. Check the back of the flower head to check all the petals are perfect. The petals turn papery, drop and lose colour once they start to go over. Deadhead flowers to give plants back the energy to ripen the next flower rather than work on producing seed.
Place flowers straight into ready buckets of water, we rest our blooms for a few hours in water, this is called conditioning.
