Dahlia of the Month of March: River's Yellow Snow

Meet the Morning Star of the Garden: River’s Yellow Snow

March is the month of anticipation, and nothing rewards that patience like River’s Yellow Snow. As one of the very first varieties to wake up each spring, this dahlia is the reliable spark every grower needs.

A standout in the yellow ball category, it produces perfectly uniform 3- to 4-inch blooms on sturdy 4.5-foot plants. Its cheery yellow-and-white bicolor is a favorite for a reason, so much so that Cincinnati florists specifically request it for its bright, sun-drenched palette.

For the practical grower, it’s a dream: a generous tuber producer that stores exceptionally well over the winter. If you're looking for a hardy staple you can count on year after year, this is the one.
