Delight in the charming hues of Dahlia ‘Strawberry Cream,’ whose decorative-form flowers echo the soft white, blush, and rich pink shades of fresh strawberry ice cream. Perfect for gardens and stunning in bouquets of all sizes, this dahlia adds sweetness and beauty wherever it's placed. Native to Mexico and Central America, dahlias are celebrated for their diverse colors and forms, making them favorites among gardeners and florists alike. Blooming from midsummer through fall, elevate your garden design with this versatile, vibrant beauty!
Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid sogginess, and apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season. For optimal stem quality and a bushier, more compact plant, pinch out the center shoot just above the third set of leaves in late spring, as dahlias make excellent cut flowers. Regularly deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering, and in colder climates, treat them as annuals and bring them indoors for winter protection.
