Diva Dahlias produce a nice dark purple flower. On the coast, the blooms tend to be a little smaller and pinching buds can help the plant invest more energy to main stems. It produces nice tubers in the fall. The plant can be leggy if not pinched in the spring. Although she is supposed to bloom at 90 days, its seems she is a little delayed on the coast and takes a bit more time to open up and shine.

Diva was one of our original 30 and is the flower that inspired us to start a local Facebook group for gardeners who live in Clatsop County.
