Notes

'Edge of Joy' dahlia (Dahlia 'Edge of Joy') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil. White blooms are flushed with lavender-pink and magenta-purple around a golden center, and the sturdy stems hold them well. Protect it from winter wet. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.

Pairs well with Pineapple sage, Purple top, and Lemongrass.
