Waterlily · 4–6"White1986Australia

Innocence is a waterlily dahlia that opens 4–6" blooms in white. Innocence produces generous flushes of pale blush-pink blooms with softly cupped petals that open to a creamy white center. Bred for the vase as much as the garden, the flowers sit on strong stems and carry a refined, airy elegance that makes them a top choice for wedding and market bouquets alike. It is a 1986 Australia introduction.

Growing Innocence

Plant in full sun after the last frost date. Pinch the growing tip when the plant has several sets of leaves to encourage bushier growth and more stems. Water regularly but avoid soggy soil. Stake early. The plant grows tall and benefits from support before it needs it. Harvest blooms when they are three-quarters open for the best vase life; sear the stem ends in hot water immediately after cutting.

Spacing: Space about 3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
