Dalaya® Raspberry Dahlia

Dalaya® Raspberry is a named garden Dahlia with double, bicolor flowers in rose-raspberry tones and a blue undertone. Ball Seed describes it as an upright, green-leaved plant with an extended flowering season and identifies it as suited to sunny growing conditions. ## Garden use The [Ball Seed product profile](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=021706572004443) presents Dalaya Raspberry as a garden dahlia for larger containers, with showy blooms that attract butterflies and birds. Its listed commercial height and width are ranges; garden-grown dimensions can vary with climate and care. Use the plant in a border, patio pot, or cutting garden where its layered color can be seen. ## Growing conditions Provide full sun for best growth, fertile soil, and consistent moisture with good drainage. Dahlias may tolerate partial shade, but cold, wet soil can harm their tubers. The [University of Florida IFAS Dahlia profile](https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/FP169) gives broad guidance on moisture and soil, while the [RHS growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/dahlia/growing-guide/) covers seasonal care and overwintering. ## Maintenance Water regularly in active growth, particularly in containers, and remove faded flowers to encourage continued bloom. Protect tubers from freezing; lift and store them frost-free in colder regions.
