Jowey Winnie Ball Dahlia

With rolled petals perfectly packed to form a tight, 4" sphere, 'Jowey Winnie' Ball Dahlia boasts intriguing hues. Ball Dahlias are appreciated for their weather-resistance, with durable blooms atop tall, stiff stems. Their extended vase life also makes them ideal for bouquets, and this variety is especially versatile — its palette of warm and cool tones combines beautifully with other flowers. Grow some in containers on a sunny patio, deck, or balcony for up-close enjoyment.

Dahlias are perennial in zones 8-10, but in cooler zones, tubers can be dug after frost comes, stored over winter, then re-planted the following spring. Grow Dahlias in a sunny spot, in average soil that drains well. Keep moisture consistent once it begins to grow and enjoy a non-stop color parade. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers and pinch off small side buds to encourage larger flowers if desired.
