Key Attributes
About Honka Fragile, Dahlia Tubers
Honka Fragile is an orchid-flowered dahlia with narrow, rolled white petals edged in a fine line of deep pink. The star-shaped blooms have a delicate, almost hand-drawn look and a yellow eye that attracts pollinators. Plants grow about 36 inches tall and bloom from midsummer until frost. It adds lightness and movement to borders and airy arrangements.

Tips
Pests & Diseases
Inspect dahlia tubers for crown gall, bacterial soft rot, Fusarium decay, and virus symptoms before planting. Discard galled, mushy, or badly shriveled stock—cutting away visible damage is unreliable. Divide with disinfected tools, cure storage wounds, and keep labeled clumps separate so suspect stock is not propagated.
Young shoots attract slugs and caterpillars; later growth may host aphids, thrips, mites, or Japanese beetles. Check buds and leaf undersides rather than spraying on a schedule. Remove isolated pests and damaged tissue first, especially while pollinators are visiting the flowers.
