'Rosella' Dinnerplate Dahlia

First introduced in 1963 by Dutch breeder Cor Geerlings, we think this impressive dahlia is the best pink dinnerplate variety on the market today. Massive 10" blooms show off plenty of lilac-pink petals in a fully double flower form. Just one of these dahlias in a bud vase is enough to brighten up an entire room. Ideal for invigorating a ho-hum border display or adding sophisticated color to accents beds. For all its striking appeal, Rosella is surprisingly fast and easy to grow, and produces its huge blooms over an extended period.

For the large dinnerplate dahlias, we encourage you to pinch out the center-growing tip right above the 3rd full sets of leaves. It will make the plant less top-heavy to where you have a need for staking. Consider using a slug bait before its fully grown. Colors can vary in intensity due to soil, weather, and humidity.
