Waterlily Dahlias are a distinguished group within the dahlia family, celebrated for their exquisite, waterlily-like blooms. These flowers are a symbol of elegance and grace in the world of horticulture, known for their distinct shape and captivating beauty.

The blooms of Waterlily Dahlias are fully double, featuring broad and somewhat sparse ray florets. The petals are typically straight or exhibit a slight involute curve along their length, contributing to the flower’s shallow yet full appearance. This unique petal arrangement closely resembles the serene beauty of waterlily flowers floating on a calm pond, hence their name.

Waterlily Dahlias come in a diverse palette of colors, from soft pastels to vivid hues, adding a touch of sophistication to any garden. The variety in color and form allows these dahlias to fit seamlessly into a range of garden designs, from formal beds to casual cottage gardens.

One of the standout features of Waterlily Dahlias is their suitability as cut flowers. Many varieties have been bred with long, sturdy stems, making them perfect for elegant floral arrangements. Whether displayed in a vase or floating in a shallow bowl, Waterlily Dahlias are sure to captivate and enchant.

These dahlias bloom from midsummer until the first frost, offering a sustained period of beauty. They thrive in well-drained, fertile soil and full sun. Regular deadheading encourages a longer blooming season.

Waterlily Dahlias are ideal for gardeners seeking to add a touch of tranquility and refined beauty to their outdoor spaces. Their serene appearance and the calming effect of their waterlily-like blooms make them a cherished choice for creating peaceful, picturesque gardens.
