The Ivanetti dahlia produces a gorgeous ruby red bloomed into in a tight ball-like flower. Stems are long and strong for easy cutting, or the perfect strength to hold against the wind. Ivanetti is a perfect color to bring a pop of red velvet into your garden.

Average bloom size is around 3 1/2 inches, and can be pinched off when it reaches 12 inches tall.

Harvest Life for Dahlias: The perfect time to harvest a dahlia is when the bloom is about three-quarters or half a way until ripe, usually best to pick in the early mornings or cool evening. After cut, the dahlia does not significantly open, so it is important to avoid harvesting at the bud stage or when the flower is fully bloomed and past its prime state.
