Hollyhill Sweet 16

The Hollyhill Sweet 16 dahlia is a stunning and sought-after variety introduced by the legendary hybridizers Ted and Margaret Kennedy of Hollyhill Dahlias in 2017. It is highly prized by florists and wedding designers for its flawless symmetry and vibrant, "glowing" presence that brings a touch of romantic elegance to any arrangement.

• Color: Dark Pink (DP) / Rose. Features vivid rose-pink petals arranged in neat, layered whorls that transition to a slightly deeper, saturated pink at the center.
• Form: Waterlily (WL). A classic waterlily shape with a high petal count and symmetrical, cupped petals that give the bloom a lush, "pillowy" look. ADS Classification: 7305.
• Bloom Size: Small (BB) or Waterlily. Blooms typically measure between 3.5 to 4 inches (9–10 cm) in diameter, an ideal "table size" for delicate floral work.
• Height: Tall. Grows to an average height of 4 feet (120 cm), though some growers report it reaching up to 4.5 feet in ideal conditions.
• Performance: Highly Floriferous and Reliable. Noted for being one of the earliest to bloom in the garden, it is an aggressive producer of flowers on long, dark, and sturdy stems. It is also celebrated for its exceptional vase life and high tuber production.
