Hollyhill Daydream is a spectacularly large dahlia known for its whimsical, fluffy appearance, making it a dramatic addition to the Hollyhill lineup by Ted and Margaret Kennedy. It was introduced around 2010. Characteristics: Form: Incurved Cactus (IC). The petals are tightly rolled (quilled) for most of their length, with the tips curving inward toward the center of the bloom. This gives it a wonderfully textural, spiky, yet soft, 'sea anemone' or 'spun sugar' look. Color: Dark Pink (DP) / Pink Blend. This dahlia lives up to its name with a soft, dreamy coloration: The petals are a beautiful frosted pink or mid-pink, often described as the colour of pink bubblegum. The colour gently fades to a creamy white or light yellow toward the center of the bloom, creating a soft, candy-like ombre effect. Bloom Size: Medium (B) to Large, typically ranging from 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) in diameter. Some growers report blooms easily reaching 10 inches or more, nearly qualifying it as a Dinnerplate in size. ADS Classification: 2405 (B - Medium size, IC - Incurved Cactus, DP - Dark Pink). Height: A tall, robust plant, growing to 4 to 6 feet (120–180 cm) tall. Performance: Cut Flower Quality: This is a favourite for cutting, particularly for designers needing large, textural focal flowers. Its strong, upright stems beautifully support the heavy blooms, making it a reliable performer despite its size. The feathery texture and large size make it incredibly eye-catching in arrangements. Garden Impact: Its size and unique form make it a wonderful garden specimen, adding a whimsical and eye-catching touch to the back of a border. Please note that the listing is for one tuber.
