This dahlia has purple flowers tipped with white on most petals. Occasionally you might see a bloom that is solid purple or solid white. Ryan C is one of our favorite varieties to use in mixed bouquets as it goes well with so many different color palettes. These plants are of medium stature and will throw lots of blooms all season long.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 6\u003c\/span\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff007e;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSPRING SHIPPING\u003c\/span\u003e: from mid-April through May\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFALL SHIPPING\u003c\/span\u003e: from late-October through mid-November\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff007e;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eEARLY SHIPPING SERVICE FEE\u003c\/span\u003e: $14 thermal protection + courier upgrade\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Early Shipping Request\" href=\"https:\/\/lilysgardenstore.com\/products\/early-shipping-request\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 126); font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ehttps:\/\/lilysgardenstore.com\/products\/early-shipping-request\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin: \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 126);\"\u003eCanada\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuber Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e Tender perennial (dig out after first frost for overwintering, or treat as an annual)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlooms:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSummer to First Frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Staking:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Highly recommended due to height \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003eDahlias are shipped as single tubers with minimum one eye guaranteed per tuber.

It's a coral-peach bloom with a lilac center that complements many colour schemes and fills out bouquets nicely. It's a sturdy stocky plant that requires hard pinching early in the season to produce thinner longer stems. Flowers are long lasting in the vase and are very well structured, won't lose petals during handling or transportation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 3-4\u003c\/span\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff007e;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSPRING SHIPPING\u003c\/span\u003e: from mid-April through May\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFALL SHIPPING\u003c\/span\u003e: from late-October through mid-November\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff007e;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eEARLY SHIPPING SERVICE FEE\u003c\/span\u003e: $14 thermal protection + courier upgrade\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lilysgardenstore.com\/products\/early-shipping-request\" title=\"Early Shipping Request\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 126); font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ehttps:\/\/lilysgardenstore.com\/products\/early-shipping-request\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin: \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 126);\"\u003eCanada\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuber Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e Tender perennial (dig out after first frost for overwintering, or treat as an annual)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlooms:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSummer to First Frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Staking:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Highly recommended due to height \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"14px\"\u003eDahlias are shipped as single tubers with minimum one eye guaranteed per tuber.
