Description
If you parade your pastel palette with pride, Dahlia 'Pink Petticoat' will want to be a part of it. Aside from its soft, powdery pink hue, it’s big, flouncy and splays out multi-layered puff of casually curved and elegantly reflexed petals. The new petals emerge white before developing their pink hue, causing a candy-sweet two-tone. The blooms of Dahlia 'Pink Petticoat' are big and powerfully impactful, both in the garden and in a home-made bouquet. They last well because revealing all those layers takes a dahlia some time, but they look glorious for every moment of it!
Growing Dahlia 'Pink Petticoat' as a garden plant? As with all dahlias, it will earn its place with a continuous display of impressive blooms, repeat flowering through summer and autumn. Find the flashy Dahlia 'Pink Petticoat' a space in a border full of soft pastel hues to fit with the theme, or mingle it into a cottage scheme so it can radiate brilliance among all the colours of the rainbow!
The petticoat, once a symbol of modesty, originally served as a voluminous undergarment in the 16th century to give skirts a fuller look. Today, it adds vintage flair, offering an elegant nod to fashion history without the fuss!
