Jowey Winnie serves as an absolute darling of the flower farming world, celebrated by wedding florists and home growers alike for its exceptional vase life and unmatched reliability. The vigorous, hardy plants stand up remarkably well to changing summer weather, pumping out armloads of strong, straight stems from midsummer right through to the season's end.

The medium-sized blooms present a classic, perfectly spherical ball form composed of neat rows of tightly rolled petals. It features a highly sought-after, vintage-inspired palette of dusty rose and soft salmon-pink, infused with warm apricot undertones. A subtle, deeper mauve or muted violet hue blankets the very center of the bloom, slowly giving way to a rich, sun-kissed glow as the flower head matures.

Because its sultry, sophisticated tones act as a wonderful blender, this variety is highly coveted for romantic bridal work and dreamy garden borders. The dense, orderly arrangement of the petals makes it highly photogenic and exceptionally durable, holding its structural beauty beautifully in a vase far longer than softer garden types.

Features:

  • Type: Ball

  • Bloom Size: Medium (approx. 10cm – 12cm)

  • Height: Approx. 1m – 1.2m

  • Best for: High-end wedding floristry, cutting gardens, and sunny borders

  • Colour: Dusty rose, salmon-pink, and warm apricot with a muted violet centre

Growing Dahlia Tubers in New Zealand

Below are some answers to frequently asked questions about growing dahlias. You can also download our handy Dahlia Growing Guide here.

  • Plant dahlia tubers in New Zealand from late spring once the risk of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. In most regions, this is typically between October and December.

  • Plant tubers horizontally about 10 to 15cm deep in well-draining soil, with the growing eye facing upwards. Choose a sunny position and allow enough space between plants for airflow as they grow.

  • Dahlias grow very well in New Zealand conditions, especially in sunny, sheltered spots with free-draining soil. They are well suited to both home gardens and cut flower growing.

  • Yes. All Piako Botanicals dahlia tubers are selected for their performance in the garden and as cut flowers. Many varieties produce long, strong stems that are ideal for harvesting and arranging.

  • In colder or wetter areas, lifting tubers over winter can help prevent rot and improve performance the following season. In milder regions, they can often be left in the ground if drainage is good.

  • All tubers are grown, lifted, divided, and stored by hand on our Waikato flower farm. We only sell varieties we grow ourselves, so you can plant with confidence.
