Pat Fearey

Pat Fearey is a luminous waterlily dahlia distinguished by its glowing coral-apricot petals warmed with golden undertones and softly brushed raspberry highlights near the centre. The 5-inch blooms feature broad, gently cupped petals arranged in classic waterlily form, creating a balanced silhouette with natural elegance and movement.

This variety reaches approximately 4.5 feet in height and produces blooms on sturdy stems suitable for cutting. Its colouring carries warmth without harsh contrast, making it exceptionally versatile in both garden plantings and bouquet work. Pat Feary offers consistent form and vibrant yet refined presence throughout the season.

The coral and golden tones pair beautifully with blush, soft peach, muted plum, antique cream, terracotta, and warm rose shades. It transitions effortlessly from bright summer palettes into richer late-season blends while maintaining a polished, designer-ready aesthetic.
