Eveline - Dahlia hybrida
A soft, gentle decorative variety. When fully open, Eveline is an antique-white dahlia with the faintest hint of lilac at the petal tips and center. Buds appear much more deeply lilac and then that color becomes just a whisper as plants unfurl a robust, ball-shaped but slightly flattened flower. Plants grow 3-4’ tall, bloom profusely on long sturdy stems. Makes great focal flowers in bouquets. Protect from cucumber beetles whom prefer light-colored petals.

Harvesting/Vase Life
Harvest dahlias in the coolness of the morning and when blooms are about three-quarters open, as they won’t open much after cutting. Check the flower heads from behind and select blooms with firm, fresh petals without discoloration. For an extra long vase life, place the freshly cut stem ends in 160–180°F water and let cool for one hour. Expect a vase life of about 5-7 days.
