Dahlia 'Kenora Challenger' knol

The pointed ivory petals really do look like a starburst when it blooms—way more dramatic than the photos suggested. Planted it in late spring and the first flower opened right on schedule, holding its shape for over a week.

I was nervous about ordering tubers online, but this one arrived firm and healthy. The blooms are exactly as described—those crisp ivory-white petals look like stars exploding in my garden. Already planning to order more dahlias for next year.

I wasn't expecting the petals to be quite so pointed and crisp, but they give the whole border a really sharp, elegant look. Every single bloom came up on a sturdy stem, and the ivory held its color for weeks in a vase.
