Oh that one is fabulous anna!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! And the proportion of red to white is different on each bloom - so each is a surprise!

Wow, those colours must stand out beautifully in the garden. So pretty!

I am thinking of starting just a red and white dahlia bed next year.

I have a Red and White dahlia called Yorokobi,each of its flowers are different. It is a fantastic bloomer. The only problem I have here is that the European earwigs seem to love any dahlias that have a white edge.I also had Little Tiger a border dahlia,also red and white that I finally left in the ground this year after growing it for a couple of years,defeated by the earwig chews on this one. I never saw a bloom on it that wasn't chewed to bits.

Hello,
I have also the nice dahlia fire and ice in my garden. Do you know, who is the grower of this beautiful dahlia. Here in Germany I have heard, that this dahlia ist from 2004.
Thank you for information and
regards from Germany

I found Fire and Ice on a few European sites. But I have not found any on Canadian sites. Help. Thanks!

ANNA,
Any chance this one is a varient on yours?

just a little advice about the earwigs (i had this same problem too) if you spray the flowers with soapy water every couple of days once the but starts to open a bit (i mean a very tiny bit, petals showing even a little) about every 2 or 3 days, then the earwigs will not eat them. Soapy water, there isn't much in the way of garden pests that it doesn't work to repel.
