Sandia Shomei

Sandia Shomei is a refined waterlily dahlia celebrated for its soft yet luminous purple blooms that carry a gentle, romantic presence in the garden. The 4-inch flowers are broad and gracefully layered, with smooth, slightly cupped petals that create the elegant, open silhouette characteristic of the waterlily form. The colouring shifts subtly in changing light, offering depth without heaviness and making it exceptionally versatile in design work.

Plants grow to approximately 4 feet in height and reach bloom in about 90 days. With strong stems and consistent mid-season production, Sandia Shomei performs reliably in both cutting gardens and bouquet-focused plantings. Its balanced bloom size makes it easy to incorporate into hand-tied arrangements and mixed designs.

Its purple tones pair beautifully with blush, dusty rose, soft lavender, creamy ivory, muted plum, pale peach, and garden-inspired palettes. It integrates seamlessly into romantic wedding work as well as everyday market bouquets.
