Sandia Serenity

Sandia Serenity Dahlia

Some dahlias make a dramatic entrance. Sandia Serenity prefers to float into the garden looking like it has never experienced a stressful day in its life.

Introduced by American hybridizers Steve and Sandy Boley in 2006, Sandia Serenity is a Waterlily dahlia combining creamy yellow and soft ivory tones with a delicate lavender blush toward the petal tips.

Its gently layered Waterlily form gives the blooms an elegant, open appearance, with broad petals arranged around a softly glowing center. The lavender coloration adds a subtle finishing touch, particularly when viewed against the warmer yellow tones near the heart of the flower.

Grower descriptions place the blooms at approximately 5 inches across on plants reaching about 4 feet tall. The result is a variety with enough presence for the garden but a soft, refined appearance that also lends itself beautifully to floral arrangements.

Sandia Serenity is especially appealing to gardeners who appreciate Waterlily dahlias, pastel color combinations, and flowers that offer something new every time the light changes.

Moose's Take

Serenity. Peace. Tranquility.

Three things the Moose occasionally experiences in the garden.

Usually right before discovering that the irrigation timer has quit, the grasshoppers have arrived, or somebody has mislabeled a dahlia.

Fortunately, Sandia Serenity looks calm enough for both of us.

The Moose approves.
