Rich coral pink petals deepen to raspberry at the tight centre, giving this small bloom real warmth and depth. The pointed petals open in neat layers around a darker eye. It is a saturated colour that holds its own in sun and still glows in the evening. Expect blooms in the small range, roughly three to four inches across.

Small, brightly coloured dahlias like this one earn their place in the cutting garden because they slip into almost any bouquet. Pair it with apricot, peach or burgundy for a warm palette, or with soft blush to let the coral sing. It suits anyone who wants plenty of colour in a modest bloom size. Regular cutting keeps fresh buds coming through late summer and into fall.
