He arrived yesterday, with his friends from the same order. Plump as can be, with that obesity characteristic of healthy dahlia strains. This sport of Cornel surely has the qualities of its father, abundant flowers, tons of potatoes, and formal perfection when it comes to flowers. I can't wait to see it in the garden, swaying its pompons in the August sun. Patience! It's still sleeping.

Description
The Dahlia Ivanetti is a true performer in the garden as well as in bouquets. Its flowers in the shape of small alveolar pompoms are astonishing with their beautiful dark red colour, richly nuanced with purple-violet, a fantastic shade that does not fade in the sun. They succeed each other relentlessly, from summer to autumn, and are carried by strong and sturdy stems, particularly interesting for making bouquets. The plant, of medium size, has a bushy habit that is also suitable for ornamental perennial or bush borders.
Dahlias belong to the asteraceae family and are originally from the high plateaus of Mexico. Currently, the few 25,000 horticultural varieties obtained by humans have invaded, to our greatest pleasure, gardens worldwide.
The 'Ivanetti' variety, obtained in 1999, will measure approximately 1m (3ft) in height and 60cm (24in) in diameter after 3 to 4 months of cultivation. It is classified as a pompom dahlia (or ball dahlia); it is a horticultural category defined by the shape of the flower. In this group, the heads are very compact, of modest size, but produced abundantly, and the tubular ligules form a perfectly spherical inflorescence that has an alveolar structure, like a beehive. The 'Ivanetti' flowers are 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter. The ligules are a very dark, nuanced, and velvety red. The golden heart of the flower only appears late, just before fading. The flowering takes place from July to October-November. The habit is bushy and upright. The very branched, long, and sturdy stems are hollow and the leaves are opposite, pinnatisect, meaning that they are divided into 3 or 5 very toothed lobes. The leaves and stems are a medium green.
To encourage repeat flowering, take care to remove faded flowers, or even better, regularly make large colorful bouquets by combining it with other varieties. 'Ivanetti' produces magnificent flowers in bouquets, accompanied by single or pompon varieties, white, pink, or mauve. This variety blends particularly well with the blue flowers of perennial delphiniums, monkshoods, and asters, and stands out beautifully against the green or purple foliage of fennel. In borders, this dahlia will create warm and bright spots alongside Echinaceas, for example, which flower at the same time, as well as daylilies. This variety with its long and heavily blooming stems allows for bouquet arrangements until late in the season.
The star plant of borders and herb gardens, dahlias confidently accompany the most beautiful flowers but are also appreciated alongside vegetable plants. In Mexico, this tuberous plant was first cultivated as a root vegetable for consumption. However, its poor taste qualities relegated it to the rank of ornamental plant. Since then, the interest in their beautiful exuberance has never waned.

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.
