Gingersnap Dahlia is a highly desirable dahlia renowned for its warm, autumnal colouring and elegant, waterlily-like form. It was introduced in 2005 by American hybridizer N. Gitts. Characteristics: Form: While many growers and florists describe it as a beautiful Waterlily (WL) dahlia due to its flat, cup-like blooms, the official American Dahlia Society (ADS) classification is often noted as Informal Decorative (ID). The form is characterized by open, elegant blooms with broad, slightly curved petals. Color: A stunning blend of warm hues, categorized by the ADS as a Light Blend (LB) of Orange (OR) and Yellow (YL). Its colour palette ranges from a buttery blonde or flaxen yellow at the centre, transitioning to caramel, muted marigold, or orange spice towards the tips. This luminous, golden glow makes it a quintessential autumnal flower. Bloom Size: Classified as Small (BB) by the ADS, with a bloom size typically ranging from 4 to 6 inches (10–15 cm). Many sources note it generally produces blooms around 3.5 to 5 inches. Height: A tall and vigorous plant, generally reaching 4 to 5 feet (120–150 cm) in height. Performance: 'Gingersnap' is an excellent performer, highly valued as a cut flower for its strong, straight stems and prolific blooming. It is a productive variety both for flowers and tubers, adding a versatile, golden warmth to both garden displays and floral arrangements from summer through the first frost.
