Ivanetti is a delectable dahlia that goes great with other deep colored flowers in arrangements. This medium sized ball variety is a dark maroon and plum color. Blooms on strong stems. 

Dig a hole that's about 6 to 8 inches deep. Set the tubers into it, with the growing points, or “eyes,” facing up, and cover with 2 to 3 inches of soil (some say 1 inch is adequate). As the stem sprouts, fill in with soil until it is at ground level. Tall, large-flowered cultivars will require support.
