I don't think I've ever seen it fall over or get damaged by a storm. The stems are long enough and it keeps on blooming. AND it makes enough tubers and they all store. What else could you want for a production cut flower? I've had several flower farmers ask me to breed a blizzard in every color. Then they wouldn't need to plant anything else 😂 |

This is an old thread but white will always be popular. Our local house paint company sent out an advertising email to customers to show them what is available in off white, they call the colors "soft whites". They ae so good at naming colors. . ![]() ![]() ![]() I think I would want a Eugenia color dahlia but I would change the name, maybe sugar dust..... ![]() We like to place a sign on our porch that says: We are in the garden. Really, we are always in the garden. |

Sugar Dust! I love it. I hope it would be one of those that kind of sparkles in the sun...I know we have talked about "diamond dust" and dahias that seem to sparkle...Is it something we can breed toward? Anyone know more about what makes that sparkle on some dahlias? Salish Dahlias |
