Hollyhill Bashful

The Hollyhill Bashful dahlia is an adorable and whimsical variety introduced by the legendary hybridizers Ted and Margaret Kennedy of Hollyhill Dahlias in 2020. It is a favorite for adding a "sweet" and detailed touch to summer gardens and market bouquets, known for its changing colors and impeccable small-scale form.

• Color: Light Blend (LB). A charming and dynamic color shifter that typically starts as a soft, creamy yellow with a blush-pink center. As the bloom matures, the pink "blush" spreads across the petals, often developing delicate pink flecks or a shimmering raspberry-parfait glow.
• Form: Miniature Ball (MB). Features a dense, perfectly spherical shape with a high petal count and symmetrical arrangement. ADS Classification: 6110 (Miniature Ball, Light Blend).
• Bloom Size: Miniature (M). Petite and "lollipop-style" blooms that typically measure between 2 to 3.5 inches (5–9 cm) in diameter.
• Height: Medium. Grows to a tidy and upright height of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 feet (75–105 cm), making it an excellent choice for the front or middle of a border.
• Performance: Prolific Accent Flower. Highly valued for its long, straight stems and abundance of flowers throughout the season. While it is a vigorous bloomer in the garden, it is often noted by growers as a "precious" variety that requires extra care during winter tuber storage
