Description
Dahlia 'Evelyne' adds a refreshing touch to romantically inspired gardens. Its generous and long flowering period is composed of large ivory capitules delicately dusted with a hint of pale purple. This subtle combination is enhanced by meticulously arranged petals. At the beginning of blooming, they tighten in the centre, folding and tinged with lilac, forming a beautiful heart. This rare and gentle range of colours contributes to the composition of charming flowerbeds and allows for beautiful and long-lasting bouquets in the home.
Belonging to the Asteraceae family, this Dahlia is a perennial with tubers that is sensitive to frost and needs to be stored for the winter in most regions. It appreciates sunny exposures and prefers rich soils for a long and colourful flowering period. Its upright and rather bushy habit gives it a place in flowerbeds alongside other summer flowers. Its hollow stems rise from 80 to 110 cm (32 to 43in) in height and sometimes require staking. They bear opposite leaves composed of three to five finely toothed leaflets of a rather medium green. At the top, beautiful capitules proudly face the sun. They consist of several rows of obovate and concave ligulate flowers, arranged in an orderly manner and forming a large pompom. Tightly packed in the centre, they are smaller near the centre, curled lengthwise, until they fold and form a darker-coloured heart. The further they extend outward, the larger they become, unfolding and lightening in colour. The whole ensemble blooms and sometimes reaches a diameter of 10 cm (4in). These ligulate flowers are a very milky white, barely brushed with a diffuse lilac hue. In contrast, they are covered in a very soft pale purple in the centre.
Thanks to its range of soft colours, 'Evelyne' is a distinguished guest in flowerbeds with poetic tones. It thrives alongside roses, its Dahlia cousins, and ensures a transition into autumn alongside asters. Whether in paintings with pink, mauve, or violet tendencies, it brings a welcome brightness to colourful ensembles.

Planting and care
Dahlia 'Evelyne' can be planted as soon as the last frosts are over. For abundant flowering, plant the tubers in full sun in a rich, damp, and well-drained soil. However, stagnant moisture would promote tuber rot. Feel free to amend the soil with compost and sand if necessary.
Work the soil deeply and enrich it, for example, with bonemeal. Place your tuber and crumble the soil well to fill without air pockets. Your dahlia should be covered with about 6 cm (2in) of soil. At the end of planting, water abundantly once and then regularly repeat this watering during the first 6 weeks to help with rooting. Stake the tall varieties that may lean under rain and wind.
Dahlias are sensitive to cold, so they need to be overwintered. In November, when first frosts blacken the foliage, it's time to dig them up. Carefully unearth the tubers. Remove as much soil as possible. Let the foliage dry so that the tubers can replenish their reserves. Then cut the stems to 10 cm (4in). Spread your bulbs in a crate on newspaper. Store them in a frost-free, dry, cool, and dark place, such as a garage or attic. In warmer regions, close to the coast, where there are only a few days of frost per year, it is possible to leave them in place. In this case, simply cover the ground with a layer of leaves or straw for protection.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
