Wizard of Oz Dahlia Tubers

Wizard of Oz: Ball Dahlia Tubers

Wizard of Oz is a relatively small ball dahlia growing to about 80cm which makes it good for the front of a border or in a container of at least 10 litres. It has good foliage that contrasts well with the masses of small, beautifully structured pastel pink flowers - some fading to white - which it carries all summer. The blooms are about 5-8cm in diameter and are a mid-pink when they open which then gracefully fades as time passes.
Due to their short stems and multiple buds, they aren't ideal for cut flowers.

Growing Wizard of Oz Dahlias

All dahlias do best in deep rich soil with good drainage in a sunny spot. If it is windy they will need staking. They are greedy, thirsty plants so will need watering in dry spells, and they will always flower that little bit better if there is a bit of soluble food in the watering can once every couple of weeks.

It is generally more convenient to put support stakes in at planting time, rather than leaving it until there is foliage in the way.
