Dahlia Peace Pact

Dahlia Peace Pact: Pristine White Tuber for Water-Lily Blooms

Create a serene and elegant display in your garden with the Dahlia Peace Pact tuber. This sturdy, upright plant grows to a height of 110–120 cm with a spread of 50–60 cm. Its robust canes carry pristine white, camellia-like blooms that are 12–15 cm across. The petals sit almost flat, with a faint buttery glow near the golden eye, giving the impression of water-lilies floating above the dark-green foliage. This variety is celebrated for its exceptional vase life, lasting an impressive 7–12 days, making it a top choice for premium arrangements.

Dahlia Peace Pact is perfect for adding a touch of romance to pastel-themed borders or for creating a luminous moon garden. Its premium white flowers are also ideal for special occasions, from weddings to elegant indoor arrangements. The plant flowers reliably from late November through March, and with consistent care and dead-heading, you can expect over 80 beautiful blooms per plant, providing a continuous display of pristine white elegance.
