Description
The Dahlia 'Que Sera' is a variety of Dahlia with anemone flowers that will make a sensation in borders and bouquets due to the extreme refinement of its flowering which combines delicate colors and perfect form. Very double and delicately crumpled, the heads are unique with their large feathery-looking white center dotted with purple-violet, set on a quadruple collar striped with mauve and lavender on a white background. It blooms from summer until the first frost in sunny borders. A marvel to adopt in a romantic garden with penstemons, phlox, catmints...
Dahlias are tuberous plants from the large aster family, originally from the high plateaus of Mexico. Currently, the approximately 25,000 horticultural varieties obtained by humans have invaded gardens worldwide. Dahlias are classified according to the shape of their flowers. Introduced in 1998, 'Que Sera' is classified in the category of decorative Dahlias with anemone flowers. In this group, the colored ligules of the head are arranged in pompoms and surrounded by a collar of wider petals. In this variety, the well-developed heads are 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6in) in diameter and the outermost ligules are almost flat, arranged in a very double collar, striped with blueberry and washed with lavender. Those in the center are shorter, fringed, white tinged with violet-purple at the tip, tightly packed together like a large feathery cushion. The flowering takes place from the end of June to October. The vigorous plant will reach a height of 1 m (3ft) or more in fertile soil, with a bushy and dense habit. The highly branched stems are hollow and the leaves are opposite and divided into denticulate leaflets. The leaves and stems are a medium green.
To promote repeat flowering and extend the flowering period, take care to remove faded flowers. Even better, regularly compose attractive colorful bouquets by combining various varieties. Highlight the assertive character of this variety by associating it with fine grasses, Calamagrostis or Molinia. The flowering of cannas and Echinaceas is perfect to accompany that of Dahlias, as they occur simultaneously, as well as the flowering of cosmos or perennial salvias.
Dahlias are undoubtedly beautiful flowers and are a highlight in ornamental gardens, but they can also enhance vegetable gardens. In Mexico, this tuberous plant was initially cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. Its poor taste qualities quickly assigned it the status of an ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.

Planting and care
The 'Que Sera' Decorative Dahlia is easy to grow in all regions. For abundant flowering, following a few simple rules is good: plant the tubers in a sunny location after the last frost; rich, fresh and well-drained soils are perfect. However, stagnant moisture would promote tuber rot. Do not hesitate to amend the soil with compost and sand if necessary. Work the soil deeply and enrich it with blood, fish and bone. 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 once abundantly and then regularly renew this watering during the first six weeks to help with rooting. Dahlias are sensitive to cold; they need to be overwintered. In November, the first frosts cause the foliage to blacken; it is 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 box of newspaper. Store them away from frost in a dry, cool, dark place, such as a frost-free garage or attic. In milder regions experiencing only a few days of frost per year, it is possible to leave them in place. In this case, cover the ground with a layer of leaves or straw for protection.
This variety, with its tall stems, often requires staking.

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.
