Flowers can range from very pale lavender to richer lavender-purple, sometimes displaying subtle blush-pink or creamy highlights that give the petals an almost translucent appearance.

A Bit of History

Snoho Sonia is an established dahlia variety dating to before 2007. The Royal Horticultural Society's International Dahlia Register describes its blooms as very light purple that can develop a deeper purple overlay as they mature.

Snoho Sonia has become especially popular with cut-flower growers because of its productivity, long straight stems, and versatile coloring. Individual blooms can vary noticeably throughout the season, giving growers a beautiful range of soft lavender tones from the same plant.
