Ferncliff Illusion
ADS #2034
A modern classic from Ferncliff Gardens in British Columbia, Ferncliff Illusion captivates with its ethereal blend of lavender-pink and creamy white. The semi-cactus form adds movement and texture, with each petal gently rolling to reveal lighter tips. It's the kind of dahlia that looks like a watercolor painting come to life.

Growing Notes
Strong grower with good branching habit. Pinch at 12 inches for maximum flower production. The semi-cactus form is naturally resistant to rain damage compared to flat-petaled types. Good cut flower — harvest when the outer two rings of petals are open. Feed with balanced fertilizer through the growing season.

The color blend on this variety is unlike anything else I grow. Soft and dreamy. Gorgeous in bouquets.
