WATERLILY DAHLIAS

Waterlily Dahlias have the characteristics of decorative dahlias, but with less rows of petals and a shallower bloom, giving a flat appearance at the back. No giant or large sized waterlilies are currently known.

Waterlily dahlias have fully double blooms characterised by broad and generally sparse ray florets, which are straight or slightly involute along their length giving the flower a shallow appearance. The depth should be less than half the diameter of the bloom.
