Dahlia Ball ‘Eveline’ (1 tuber)

Dahlia ‘Eveline’ is ideal for adding a subtle hint of colour into a garden flower bed or border with its stunning and charming rounded blooms of fully double white petals, delicately edged with pink, particularly towards the centre. These perfectly formed clusters of pristine beauty will bring weeks of colour and joy to your garden, flowering from July through to the first frosts.

When planting your ‘Eveline’ tuber, it is best to do so into well-drained soil in a sunny spot. Tubers should be planted around 15cm/6″ deep and about 60cm/24″ apart from other plants. As the plant grows, it may need staking to support the heavy blooms.

To maintain your ‘Eveline’ dahlia, regular watering and deadheading will keep the plant looking its best. Deadheading is the process of removing spent blooms to encourage the plant to produce more flowers. It is also important to keep an eye out for pests or diseases and take appropriate action as needed.

In the fall, when the plant has finished blooming and the leaves have yellowed, it is time to dig up the tubers. Carefully dig up the tubers, making sure to not damage them, and allow them to dry in a warm, dry place before storing in a cool, dark place for the winter. With the right care and attention, your ‘Eveline’ dahlia will be sure to bloom beautifully year after year.
