A Bit of History

Strawberry Ice is celebrated for its huge, romantic blooms and its ability to bridge formal and wild garden styles. It has been bred and grown by many specialty dahlia farms and featured in wedding and large‑scale floral work for its large size, soft coloring, and strong vase life. Known for its performance in full sun and moderate climates, it tends to bloom from mid‑summer through fall, continuing until frost. Though perhaps not as rare as a true “unicorn,” Strawberry Ice is much sought after for its dramatic presence and gentle palette.
