Brookside Snowball Dahlia produces pristine white blooms measuring approximately 5 inches across, showcasing the classic ball form that dahlia enthusiasts prize for its symmetrical, full-petaled structure. This variety reaches 3.5 feet in height, making it an excellent choice for mid-border placement or cutting gardens. The pure white coloring provides striking contrast in mixed plantings and arrangements, while the substantial bloom size ensures visual impact throughout the growing season.
How To Plant Dahlias
To get your dahlias started, pick a sunny spot with soil that drains well. Dig a hole, lay the tuber flat, and cover it with soil about 3 inches deep. Hold off on watering for now. Once you spot some sprouts and a few leaves, it’s time to water, but keep it gentle to prevent root rot. It’s a smartto put the stake next to the tuber at the same time of planting, so you don’t accidentally damage it later on.
As the season goes on, give your dahlias some love with fertilizer and insect sprays to help them bloom beautifully and grow strong. In the fall, dig up the roots and store them over winter.
