Creme de Cassis dahlia tuber.
1 tuber.
Shades of soft lilac and deep purple on these bicolor flowers of the lovely Waterlily Dahlia 'Crème de Cassis.' The petals are a pale tone with centers and undersides showing the deepe hue. A favorite in bouquets. It's a magnificent flower to have in your collection.
30"-36" plant height. 4" bloom size.
Planting: Your tubers can go directly into the ground in the spring when the ground has warmed and there is little chance of frost. One good guideline is to plant in the same time frame as you would a tomato. If you want blooms as early as possible, you can start the tubers indoors in good light about a month before planting time. You will then have a small plant ready at planting time. Dahlias can be planted as late as mid-June in most parts of the country.
