Ferncliff Starlight

The Ferncliff Starlight dahlia is a stunning and luminous variety introduced by David Jack of Ferncliff Gardens. Known for its pristine, star-like appearance, it is a favorite for gardens and floral arrangements that require a touch of "ethereal" elegance

• Color: White (W). A clean, brilliant white that often features a soft, creamy center. Some growers note a very subtle hint of lavender at the heart, adding to its delicate, glowing look.
• Form: Semi-Cactus (SC). Elegant, pointed petals that are partially revolute (rolled), giving the bloom a spiky, "starlit" silhouette. ADS Classification: 3201 (Small Semi-Cactus White).
• Bloom Size: Small (BB) or Medium (B). Typically produces blooms around 5.5 to 6 inches (14–15 cm) in diameter, offering a substantial presence without being overwhelming.
• Height: Very Tall. A vigorous and upright grower that reaches an impressive height of 5 feet (150 cm), making it a perfect choice for the back of a border.
• Performance: Showy Garden Variety. Celebrated for its strong, sturdy stems that hold the flowers well above the deep green foliage. It is a reliable bloomer from midsummer until the first frost, prized by floral designers for its serene and sophisticated look in cut arrangements.
