This dahlia originated right here at Burfoot Flowers, and was released in 2025! BF Lotus is literally a dream come true: We created this dahlia through hand-pollination! Lotus is a lively, non-traditional dahlia that is lit from within. She glows in the garden. Soft salmon pink fades to warm yellow and back again. Each petal is delicately outlined in darker pink picottee, with a lovely paint-brushed effect. Long, wispy petaloids flutter between cupped petals. Lotus is one of the first to bloom in the spring, and is loaded all season long, with each flush of blooms slightly unique! Here in the PNW, warmer temps bring out textured, lancinated petals, and long wispy petaloids, while shadier cooler conditions amp up the picottee and round out the petals. Centers are always tightly closed, and it is stunning in design work, and kitchen table vases. Blooms are 5-6” and an informal, waterlily-esque form. The plant is vigorous and fast growing up to 5’, and requiring support. Lotus doesn’t require disbudding, though benefits from it, especially if large, perfected blooms are desired. Stems are very sturdy, straight, and plenty long! After her 2025 release, we received lots of great feedback from friends and customers that grew Lotus in many different climates! She seems to be heat tolerant and consistent. This listing is for one dahlia tuber.
