DESCRIPTION
Dahlia ‘China Doll’ opens into delicate waterlily‑style blooms that begin in a buttery yellow tone and deepen to a rose‑tinted edge, offering a gentle shift in hue from the center outward. The petals spread outward in a flattened, open formation, inviting extended viewing of the softly painted coloration. Blooms begin appearing in early midsummer and continue through the growing season until autumn’s first frost, reliably enriching garden borders with pastel warmth. Each low‑growing flower head maintains clarity and freshness on long stems, making ‘China Doll’ well suited for both early summer display and cut arrangements.

    Dahlias are generally low-maintenance. They do best in well-draining soil and prefer full sun for optimal growth and flowering. Tubers can be planted outside after the last frost. Nourish with a balanced fertilizer once the plants are established.

    Throughout the growing season, provide regular watering, support for tall varieties, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Harvest blossoms when buds are 3/4 open.
