Vista Minnie

Vista Minnie is dazzling novelty variety bred by Jean Heeringa in 2011.

Characteristics:

Form: Novelty Fully Double (NX). This form is characterized by fully double blooms that do not fit neatly into other categories, often featuring unusual petal arrangements like extreme quilling, twisting, or a two-toned pinwheel effect, as is the case with 'Vista Minnie'.

It is also sometimes classified as a Stellar or Informal Decorative due to the twisting of its petals.

Color: Dark Blend (DB). 'Vista Minnie' is celebrated for its unique, multi-tonal color:

• Face/Inside Petals: Coral, Gold, Tangerine, or Soft Peach.
• Reverse/Outside Petals: Vibrant Raspberry, Fuchsia, or Hot Pink.
• This two-toned nature creates a stunning, heavily twisted, and quilled effect that looks like a carnival or "pinwheel of color" in the garden. It definitely adds interest in a cut-flower arrangement or bouquets.

Bloom Size: Small to Miniature (BB/M).

• Diameter: The blooms typically measure 4 to 5 inches ($10\text{ cm}\text{ to }13\text{ cm})$ across.
• According to the American Dahlia Society (ADS) classification, blooms up to 4′′ are Miniature (M), while 4′′ to 6′′ are Small (BB). 'Vista Minnie' fits into the larger end of the Miniature or the smaller end of the Small category.

Height: The plant has a medium-to-tall stature, generally growing to a height of 30 to 60 inches ($75\text{ cm}\text{ to }150\text{ cm})$ or $3\text{ to }5\text{ feet}$ ($0.9\text{ to }1.5\text{ m})$ tall.

Performance:

• Unique Texture and Movement: The strongly twisted and rolled petals, combined with the two contrasting colors, give the bloom exceptional texture and a sense of movement, making it stand out among other dahlia forms.
• Excellent Cut Flower: It is prized by flower farmers and designers for its exceptional performance in bouquets, where the unique colour and texture add significant visual interest and blend beautifully with other colours.
• Sturdy Stems: It produces strong stems, making it reliable variety for cutting garden.
