Dahlia 'Ivanetti' is a ball-type dahlia featuring berry-hued blooms with a deep maroon or magenta tone. The tightly packed petals form a rounded, symmetrical flower head, creating a refined and polished appearance. This variety grows to about 3 to 4 feet tall and produces medium-sized flowers, typically around 4 inches in diameter. Blooming from mid-summer until frost, 'Ivanetti' thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture. Its strong stems and weather-resistant flowers make it an excellent choice for cutting gardens, as the blooms hold up well in floral arrangements. Hardy in zones 8-11.

Planting: In spring, plant tubers 3 to 4 inches deep with the eye facing up, once soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Space 18 to 24 inches apart to allow for airflow and mature spread.
Location: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) is essential for strong stems and abundant blooms.
Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost before planting.
Watering: Water deeply once or twice a week, keeping soil evenly moist but not soggy. Avoid watering until shoots emerge to prevent rot.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 8–10. In colder zones, lift tubers after frost and store in a cool, dry place.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer monthly or use a slow-release formula at planting and midsummer. Avoid high-nitrogen feeds.
Pruning: Pinch back when plants reach 12 inches tall to encourage bushier growth. Deadhead regularly to promote continuous bloom.
Pest & Disease: Watch for aphids, spider mites, and fungal issues. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
Propagation: Divide tubers in spring, ensuring each division has at least one viable eye.
