Dahlia ‘Maaike’ – Lavender-Pink Pompon Dahlia Tuber

Dahlia ‘Maaike’ is a charming Pompon Dahlia producing petite, perfectly rounded blooms with tightly arranged petals and an elegant, refined appearance.
Its flowers open in delicate shades of soft blush and pale lavender-pink, gradually developing beautiful lilac to soft purple tones as they mature and as temperatures become cooler.
The petite flowers measure approximately 5 cm across, while plants typically grow around 90–100 cm tall.
With its strong cutting stems, perfectly rounded flower form and sophisticated color palette, Maaike is particularly valued for wedding flowers, boutonnieres, bouquets and refined floral arrangements.

Growing in Kuwait

• For Kuwait conditions, Dahlia ‘Maaike’ is best grown during the cooler growing season after extreme summer temperatures have declined.
• A practical planting period is: October to November
• Plant tubers approximately 5–10 cm deep, positioning the crown and growing eyes upward.
• Avoid excessive watering immediately after planting. Once shoots emerge and an active root system develops, gradually increase watering while maintaining excellent drainage.
• Provide strong sunlight during the cooler months, with some protection from intense afternoon heat as temperatures rise toward the end of the season.
• Because plants can reach approximately 90–100 cm tall, staking or plant support is recommended.
