Dahlia Myama Fubuki
Spectacular, Dahlia ‘Myama Fubuki’ features large, richly petaled, creamy-white flowers. The fluffy blossoms, up to 5-6 in. wide (12-15 cm), are a model of perfection and are not top-heavy. Rising on sturdy stems, they stand up nice and straight, even when it rains. A guaranteed attraction, whether in the garden or in a vase.

- Blooming massively from July until Frost, this dahlia grows up to 3-4 ft. (90-120 cm) and is an excellent choice to create a lovely garden display or for showing.
- A great pick for borders, containers or as cut flowers thanks to its superb vase life. Did you know that the more you cut Dahlia flowers, the more flowers you get? This makes Dahlias twice as nice: pretty in a vase, pretty in the garden. A great big flower in a vase or floating in a shallow bowl makes the perfect eye-catcher.
- Best flowering occurs in full sun, but light shade will be welcomed in hot summer areas.
- Provide consistent moisture during the growing season and do not allow soils dry out. Plant in a sheltered location to protect your dahlias from strong winds.
- Best in groups of 5 for best visual effect. Deadhead spent flowers to promote growth of additional flower buds.
- Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
- If you live in a cool area (hardiness zones 3-7) and you want to save your dahlia bulbs, or more precisely, your dahlia tubers for next spring, you may dig them up before the first frost and store them over winter before replanting them next spring. Store them in boxes, covered with moistened sand in a cool, dark, frost-free place where temperature remains between 45-50 °F (7-10°C).
