Why Lee’s Pineberry Trifle Dahlia is a Must-Grow
Blush with a Berry Twist? YES, PLEASE. Lee’s Pineberry Trifle is no ordinary bicolor — it’s hauntingly beautiful. With a creamy white tip that fades into a strawberry center, each 4” bloom brings a layered, painterly look that somehow manages to be both soft and striking. Think blush tones with a secret.
A Southern Beauty with Storybook Charm:
Hybridized by Lee Hemmings Carlton of North Carolina at Goldenrod Gardens and introduced in 2023, Pineberry Trifle quickly claimed a top spot in our Fuirk’s Favorites list. Why? Because it does everything right. It throws long, slender stems on tall 5’ plants, holds up beautifully in the vase, and starts blooming early — then keeps going all season long. The blooms are sturdy, photogenic, and always offer something a little different with each flush.
It’s Giving: Vintage Dessert Realness
Named after the nostalgic Southern dessert, Pineberry Trifle nods to the elegance of layered flavors and timeless traditions. Just like a trifle changes depending on the hands that make it, this dahlia evolves with temperature and daylight. Cooler weather brings more contrast, while heat pulls forward the berry tones. It’s a living floral mood ring.
What Makes It a Fuirk Favorite:
✓ Early, consistent bloomer
✓ 5' tall plants with long, vase-ready stems
✓ Unique bicolor blush-berry blend
✓ Excellent bloom attachment (aka: no floppy heads!)
✓ Stuns in arrangements and Instagram photos
Whether you're into soft palettes or just need that one flower that steals the show without screaming, Pineberry Trifle brings layered beauty with a Southern wink. Plant it. Cut it. Gawk at it. You won’t regret it. 🍓🤍🍰
