Formal Decorative · 3–3.7"LavenderBill BonneywellUnited States
Snoho Lilac comes from Bill Bonneywell in United States. Snoho Lilac carries the quiet authority of Bill Bonneywell's Snohomish County breeding program into a compact package, with lavender petals edged and tipped in white that read as two-tone even at a distance. The tightly layered heads sit on upright stems and hold their form well after cutting, making this a workhorse for small-farm growers who need reliable color from compact rows. Snoho Lilac is a formal decorative dahlia that opens 3–3.7" blooms in lavender.

Growing Snoho Lilac
Pinch once your plant reaches four sets of leaves so laterals fill out and you get a fuller canopy of cutting stems. Stake at planting because compact plants can still carry enough head weight to lean after rain. Cut in the early morning when the outer ring of petals has opened fully for the cleanest hold. Keep soil moisture steady through summer heat to prevent flower size from dropping off.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
