Pam Howden

Pam Howden is a luminous waterlily dahlia celebrated for its vibrant blend of peach, raspberry, and golden yellow. The medium-sized blooms feature a brilliant yellow base, with soft peach petals delicately brushed in raspberry tones along the undersides. Its classic waterlily form broad, gently cupped petals arranged in balanced layers gives each flower an elegant, sculptural presence.

This variety stands tall and refined in the garden. Plants produce upright blooms on strong, elongated stems, making Pam Howden an excellent performer for cutting. Its lively colouring and poised form add movement and dimension to arrangements while remaining polished and balanced.

The peach and raspberry tones pair beautifully with blush, antique cream, muted plum, soft coral, and warm apricot shades. It integrates seamlessly into romantic palettes while also brightening sunset-inspired designs.
