Ball · 3–3.5"LavenderBill Bonneywell (Snoho Dahlias) (2007)United States

Snoho Sonia was bred in United States by Bill Bonneywell (Snoho Dahlias) in 2007. Snoho Sonia opens pearly lavender globes that shift from pale ice to soft purple across the same row, so no two blooms in a bouquet repeat themselves. Bill Bonneywell bred it in Snohomish County, Washington, part of the Snoho line that carries his hometown prefix and his decades of Pacific Northwest breeding. Snoho Sonia is a ball dahlia that opens 3–3.5" blooms in lavender.

Growing Snoho Sonia

Pinch Snoho Sonia when it reaches a foot tall so side shoots fill out and you get more cutting stems. Stake at planting because the wiry stems run long on a medium bush and carry heavy round heads that tug forward once they size up. Cut in the cool of morning when the outer ring of petals has just unfurled, because round heads cut too tight never fully open in water. Feed lightly through summer and watch the color shift cooler as nights drop in late season.

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