Description
Dusted with magic and iridescence, Dahlia 'Dusty Beauty' is spotless and totally on point, but its shabby-chic vintage charm makes this dusky dahlia a dream to have in absolutely any setting. Dusty shades of the palest, creamy apricot, with mauve pink and pale-lemon undertones are reminiscent of a misty sunrise, it seems fresh, dewy and full of excitement for the day ahead. The delicate flowers of Dahlia 'Dusty Beauty' are best appreciated when it’s planted in full sun or partial shade, enjoy this dahlia in mixed borders, on the cut-flower patch or make it a stand-out feature in a large patio container.
Dahlia 'Dusty Beauty's gorgeous flowers are perfect for picking and bringing inside, they have a long base life as they slowly unfurl all those petals. The stems aren’t particularly long but they bunch together beautifully to make a cute bouquet for a jar – the pastel colouring in so serene and calming. Plant the charming Dahlia 'Dusty Beauty' alongside pale lemon, mauve, apricot or pink dahlias, or take dusty to the next level and team it with a sumptuous, dark dahlia like Dahlia 'Black Jack' for toned-down autumn appeal.
