Dahlia Ball ‘Sylvia’
Dahlia 'Sylvia' displays ball-type flowers of apricot-orange on long stems.
Dahlia ‘Sylvia’ offers heads of exquisite, ball-type, fully double glowingly warm apricot-orange flowers. Rounded petals are cupped and perfectly arranged to create a dense flower head. Displays prominently in the mid to back of the garden due to its strong 36-40 inch long burgundy stems. Fantastic as cut flowers too. Dahlia are hardy to coastal BC’s winter temperatures but not to winter wet. Protect from rain in free-draining soils, plant in pots that can be moved and protected, or lift and store in a cool, dry, frost free location. They are moderately deer resistant.
