Notes
'Porcelain' dahlia (Dahlia 'Porcelain') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. The flowers grow up to 133 mm wide and are white with pale purple tips and a greenish yellow base. Stems reach 1.5 m tall, so they make good cut flowers. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Ornamental onion, Blue Mouse Ears hosta, and Cornflower.
