Why Bracken Ballerina Dahlia Deserves a Standing Ovation
Pretty in Pink (and White):
Bracken Ballerina twirls into your garden with soft blooms that blend pale pink and white, like the perfect pastel daydream. Released in 1988 and hybridized by Nauman of Australia, this dahlia knows how to make an entrance with its fully double, rounded petals that practically beg to be admired.
A Star on the Show Bench:
Got a competitive streak? Bracken Ballerina is here for it. This exhibition variety is a showstopper that judges can’t resist. If you like winning ribbons (and who doesn’t?), this one’s got you covered.
Garden Glow-Up:
Not into competitions? No problem. Bracken Ballerina thrives in the garden, bringing soft, romantic vibes to your flower beds and bouquets. Fair warning, though: this diva needs a little support (literally—don’t skip the stakes).
Hybridized by Nauman of Australia and introduced in 1988. Watch it pirouette into perfection. 🌸

Welcome to the Dahlia Files
The Dahlia Files is our ever-growing library of blooms we’ve grown, loved, retired, and occasionally fired. Think of it as our not-so-secret vault: organized, categorized, and sometimes judged.
This is where we keep notes on every dahlia that’s passed through our fields—whether it’s a current favorite or a one-season wonder. These blooms aren’t for sale here (sad trombone 🎺), but you can see what is coming up or available to shop from the navigation bar, following on Instagram, and subscribing to the newsletter.
