Dahlia – Park Princess (Loose Tuber)

Description

Dahlia ‘Park Princess’ is a delicate and compact variety, known for its soft pink, semi-cactus blooms. The flowers, about 10-15 cm in diameter, feature narrow, pointed petals that give the blooms a spiky yet elegant appearance. ‘Park Princess’ adds a charming and graceful touch to garden beds, borders, and containers, making it a perfect choice for smaller spaces. Blooming continuously from mid-summer through the first frost, this variety offers a long season of pastel beauty, while also attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies to the garden.

Ideally plant in a sunny garden border, bed or patio pot in a sheltered position. When the plant is in full flower it can be cut for an excellent cut flower display. Height 60cm. Flowers July to September.
