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. 🌸

Grow & Care
Grow & Care
Dahlias are tender perennials, vigorous and fast growing. Dahlia tubers must be lifted for the winter from the ground in zones 7 and lower.
Planting:
Dahlias require soil that drains freely. Clay soil should be amended. Planting in raised beds can help alleviate moisture concerns. Tuber loss due to moisture rot is the leading cause for plant loss.
Plant 6" deep. Dig hole at least twice the width of your tuber to reduce soil compaction.
Label and stake your Dahlia at planting. Tubers do not need to be watered unless you are dealing with especially dry conditions. Whatever Mother Nature provides will be enough.
Care:
When Dahlias reach 10-12", the center tip should be pinched. This will create a bushier plan and yield more blooms. Without pinching, the plant will grow one tall, thick central stalk.
Your Dahlias will bloom from mid-summer until frost. Keep spent blooms trimmed and you'll enjoy repeat blooms all season long.
