Dreamy Dahlias: Soft Cool Pastels
These are the cottage garden dahlias- the ones you mix in with all your roses and cosmos. These give you the English garden look here in a hot climate.
Marionberry Milkshake- Great name, great dahlia! This beauty is a steady bloomer and has a strong stout plant habit. It could almost stand on it’s own without support if you placed it amongst other strong plants in a perennial border. It’s fluffy and the pale silvery lavender color just makes me feel peaceful.
Skipley Moonglow- Creamy butter yellow- one of my favorite colors! It can have a tinge of pink in the center sometimes. Blooms a little later in the season- mid September but keeps going once it gets started. This one helps warm up this cool palette of silvery pastels.
Sweet Nathalie- Sometimes she’s lavender pink, sometimes silver cool pink. Great companion to 20th Ave Memory- like a bigger older sister. Beautiful soft pink, really adds the romance to your cottage garden.
Camano Zoe- Every romance needs a bit of whimsy- Enter Camano Zoe! Cute as a button. Small white pom dahlia with pinkish highlights. Gives lots of blooms and is tall enough to make a statement in your garden.
Sterling Silver- You can’t have a romantic cottage garden without some white. This dahlia is a beautiful soft white with a pillowy fluffy feel to it. Lots of layers that create a voluminous effect as it opens.
