Henriette Dahlia is a smoky pink cactus dahlia that holds up to weather and is a great cut flower. These stems are perfect! This dahlia gets a little lighter as the season goes on and it definitely has that fairy magic that makes it sparkle in the sun. Introduced in 1981 by Pergerhoff in Germany.
Why Henriette Dahlia is the Cutie That Keeps Getting Better
Soft Salmon with a Smoky Twist: Henriette is pure pastel perfection. Her sparkling salmon-pink blooms gently fade to cream at the petal tips, creating a soft, dreamy effect. Set against dark stems, the contrast is stunning—this is one of those dahlias that looks effortlessly beautiful no matter where you plant it.
A Bloom That Ages Like Fine Wine: Most flowers peak when they first open, but not Henriette. This cactus dahlia improves with age, holding its shape and charm long after other varieties would be past their prime. The older the bloom, the better it gets—making it a florist’s dream for wedding work and arrangements.
Weather-Resistant & Cut Flower Ready: Henriette isn’t just pretty—she’s practical, too. This variety stands up well to the elements, produces strong stems for cutting, and blends effortlessly with other blooms. Whether in bouquets or brightening up your garden, she’s a total winner.
Plant it. Watch it glow. Let Henriette bring her soft salmon magic to your garden. 🌸✨
