Why Dahlia ‘Dutch Pearl’ is a Glowing Garden Treasure
*Described on Dahlia Addict and others as Waterlily form but I do not fully agree. See notes.
Peachy Perfection: ‘Dutch Pearl’ is a dreamy blend of soft apricot petals kissed with pink brush tips and hints of yellow. Its subtle glow in the sunlight, paired with a mauve shimmer, makes it a standout in any garden or arrangement.
Waterlily Adjacent: While I believe this is technically a formal decorative dahlia, ‘Dutch Pearl’ channels waterlily vibes with its serene, elegant blooms. I saw another grower describe it as "waterlily adjacent," and I think that is perfectly on point. Credit to Gone Gardening with Leah.
Prolific and Versatile: This variety doesn’t just look pretty; it works hard, too. With wonderfully long stems and floriferous blooms, ‘Dutch Pearl’ is perfect for cutting, blending seamlessly into a variety of color schemes, and lasting beautifully in the vase.
Grower’s Notes: Let the blooms mature on the plant to achieve their full glowing peach color. Don’t skimp on pinching—this dahlia thrives when pinched hard and rewards you with even more breathtaking flowers.
‘Dutch Pearl’ is a must-have for lovers of subtle beauty with a touch of shimmer—perfectly peachy, perfectly glowing, and perfectly unique! 🌸✨
