About this plant
Dahlia 'Bliss' produces soft lavender blossoms that transition gently to warm yellow near the base, creating a delicate gradient across each flower. A member of the waterlily group, its fully double blooms feature broad, slightly cupped petals arranged in graceful layers that give the flowers their characteristic waterlily-like form. Measuring about 4 inches across, the blooms combine a refined silhouette with a softly blended pastel palette.
Growing to approximately 4 feet tall, 'Bliss' brings color and vertical interest to garden beds, borders, and cutting gardens. Its lavender and yellow tones blend easily with both cool and warm colors, making it versatile in mixed plantings. The gently cupped flowers are also beautiful for cutting, where their layered form and subtle coloring can be appreciated up close.
Planting & care
Growing beautiful dahlias starts with thoughtful planting and care. A sunny location, well-draining soil, and consistent attention throughout the growing season help plants develop abundant flowers. Regular watering and feeding encourage healthy growth, while mulch helps conserve moisture. Removing spent flowers keeps plants blooming freely from summer into fall.
