Dahlia ‘Marshmallow Baby’
Introduced by Klostra in 2023. Meet your new floral crush: ‘Marshmallow Baby’ is the soft dahlia you’ve been waiting for. Fluffy, sweet, and ridiculously productive, this variety kicks off early and just… doesn’t stop. From summer through frost, it throws out bloom after bloom on long, slender stems — no fuss, no drama, and no need for endless pinching.
The petals? Soft pink with just a whisper of white, like they’ve been dipped in .... marshmallow. Each flower is perfectly shaped, making it a dream for bouquets, wedding work, or just straight-up garden envy.
I've seen this dahlia described as ball form, and I'm not sure that I agree. It is definitely round, but ball is described as "completely reflexing towards the stem without notches or points." Umm, no. For this reason, I'm going to call it a formal decorative.
Tall, sturdy stems make it a joy to harvest, and it blooms like it’s got something to prove. Honestly, we’re calling this our best new pink for 2025 — and that’s not hype. It’s just facts.
