Creme De Cassis Dahlia showcases striking 5-inch lavender petals that transition to a deep magenta base, crowned with a dark purple center. This waterlily-form variety reaches 3.5 feet tall, making it an excellent choice for mid-border placement or cut flower arrangements. The sophisticated color gradient and elegant bloom structure deliver garden impact and lasting vase appeal for discerning dahlia enthusiasts.

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 smart  to 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.
