Miniature Ball · 3–4"Orange

Maarn is a miniature ball dahlia that opens 3–4" blooms in orange. Egg-yolk orange blooms bounce across the patch from midsummer to frost, small enough to tuck anywhere in a bouquet and bright enough to anchor one. Known as Sylvia across Europe, Maarn is the variety market growers rely on to pay the booth fees by August.

Growing Maarn

Pinch early when plants are knee-high to multiply your stem count. Give full sun and consistent water, and you will harvest from midsummer through frost with minimal staking. Cut when blooms are three-quarters open since they stop opening after harvest.

Spacing
Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking
Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
