Sandia Showboat

Sandia Showboat is an elegant waterlily dahlia celebrated for its creamy white blooms kissed with the faintest whisper of pale yellow at the center. The 5-inch flowers are broad and impeccably formed, with smooth, gently layered petals that create the classic open, floating silhouette of the waterlily type. The soft tonal variation adds warmth and dimension, elevating it far beyond a standard white.

Plants grow to approximately 4 feet in height and demonstrate strong, upright growth with excellent stem length. Reliable production and sturdy stems make Sandia Showboat a standout in cutting gardens and a dependable performer for bouquet and event work. Its refined form and luminous colouring make it a true focal bloom in both garden and vase.

Its creamy white tones pair beautifully with blush, champagne, soft peach, muted lavender, dusty rose, pale green, and timeless all-white palettes. It is especially striking in wedding work, romantic garden designs, and elevated neutral arrangements.
