Description
Dahlia 'Fancy Pants' really is a star performer, and doesn’t she just know it! You simply won’t be able to miss these striking blooms parading on their long, slender stems. Each lush pink flower is a perfectly symmetrical star shape, with involute petals neatly folded in on themselves — bringing some floral origami for your viewing pleasure. This spiky wonder is actually one of the ever-popular collarette dahlia varieties – lean in to appreciate its beauty and you’ll see a tell-tale frilly ruff of delicate lighter petals, surrounding the golden yellow centre.
That perfect pink hue will make itself at home in hot and cool colour schemes alike — and as the long-stemmed blooms are a compact 10cm, Dahlia 'Fancy Pants' lends itself well to picking for posies too. This is a lower-growing variety than many of its dahlia companions, making it ideal for brightening up your pots and planters. Pollinators will just love this showy specimen, and we promise you will too!
