The ‘Snow Country’ dahlia is a stunning dinner-plate variety that produces massive, 8- to 10-inch pure white blooms with twisty, elegant petals. Growing 36 to 48 inches tall, this perennial favorite thrives in full sun, flowers from mid-summer to late fall, and beautifully attracts pollinators to your garden. [1, 2, 3, 4]

How to Grow & Care for ‘Snow Country’
- Soil & Planting: Dahlias require rich, moist, and well-draining soil. Plant the tubers in the spring after the last frost has passed, positioning them about 3 to 6 inches deep with the “eye” or pointed end facing upward. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- Watering: Provide moderate, regular watering, especially when grown in containers. Deep watering every 3 days is recommended during the peak growing season. [1, 2, 3]
- Fertilizing: Use a low-nitrogen, time-release fertilizer. Applying too much fertilizer encourages leafy growth at the expense of blossoms. [1]
- Pruning & Care: Pinching off excess buds and deep-harvesting or deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming and prevents the plant from flopping over. [1, 2]
