Dahlia ‘Peace Pact’

Try tearing your eyes away from Dahlia Peace Act’s profusion of spectacular, pure white flowers with a golden heart! Especially suited for cutting, this Dahlia has an outstanding vase life (7-12 days). The fully double flowers, up to 4-6 in. wide (10-15 cm), rise atop sturdy stems and are not top-heavy. They remain standing up nice and straight, even when it rains. Blooming massively from midsummer until frost, this dahlia grows up to 48 in. tall (120 cm) and pops in the sunny border or in flower arrangements.

• Best flowering occurs in full sun, but light shade will be welcomed in hot summer areas.
• Provide consistent moisture during the growing season and do not allow soils dry out. Plant in a sheltered location to protect your dahlias from strong winds.
• Best in groups of 5 for best visual effect. Deadhead spent flowers to promote growth of additional flower buds.
• Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
• If you live in a cool area (hardiness zones 3-7) and you want to save your dahlia bulbs, or more precisely, your dahlia tubers for next spring, you may dig them up before the first frost and store them over winter before replanting them next spring. Store them in boxes, covered with moistened sand in a cool, dark, frost-free place where temperature remains between 45-50 °F (7-10°C).
• This Dahlia is a member of the Waterlily Dahlias which have fully double blooms characterized by broad and generally sparse ray florets, which are straight or slightly involute along their length giving the flower a shallow appearance. They make real eye-catchers!
