(36-40” tall x 24” wide) The fresh blossoms of ‘Ice Crystal’ Fimbriata Dahlia are a lovely, welcome addition to the summer and fall garden. Warm yellow centers give way to fully fringed white petals, and are held above deep green foliage on 36” stems. Blossoms are large, and make great cut flowers for indoor arrangements. It’s wise to plant more than a few tubers, so you have plenty of flowers to enjoy in the garden and in a vase. Plant tubers of ‘Ice Crystal’ Fimbriata Dahlia in average to rich, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Dahlias benefit from a regular feeding and watering schedule and bloom time will be lengthened by regular deadheading of spent flowers. Pinching back early growth also makes for a bushier plant later in the season. Gardeners can enjoy the naturally large flowers of ‘Ice Crystal,’ or promote even larger ones by pinching off a third to a half of flowering buds as they begin to form. In the autumn in cooler climates, dig the tubers and store in a cool, dry place in lightly moistened sawdust or vermiculite over the winter months.
