Dahlia 'Pink Silk'

If you’re looking for sophistication and elegance in your borders and containers, then look no further than Dahlia 'Pink Silk'. This extremely graceful dahlia just oozes class, and the delicate colour will add serenity to your garden. Growing to around 80cm tall, it’s relatively compact for a dahlia and this makes it a great choice if you’re container gardening. It also radiates brilliance in borders and helps to add a gradient to your display with smaller plants in front and taller dahlias behind. Dahlia 'Pink Silk' is prolific, so expect plenty of blooms to highlight your planting scheme. In the summer sun, this subtle dahlia gleams and can appear almost white, as the afternoon rolls on and light becomes slightly dimmer, the gentle pink tone becomes more apparent.  

Dahlia 'Pink Silk' has perfectly poised petals which form a ball like shape. It’s worth admiring the fascinating detail of this dahlia up close, so make sure you cut some during the season to enjoy in a vase indoors. In true dahlia style, more flowers will grow after some are cut or deadheaded, so you’ll soon have more to enjoy in the garden. Dahlia 'Pink Silk' makes a sensationally stylish combination with dahlias in pastel shades of mauve and pale peach. For contrast in shape and form and to add a relaxing gentle movement to your display, try planting among Verbena bonariensis or Perovskia.
