About this plant

Dahlia 'China Doll' opens into delicate waterlily‑style blooms that begin in a buttery yellow tone and deepen to a rose‑tinted edge, offering a gentle shift in hue from the center outward. The petals spread outward in a flattened, open formation, inviting extended viewing of the softly painted coloration. Blooms begin appearing in early midsummer and continue through the growing season until autumn's first frost, reliably enriching garden borders with pastel warmth. Each low‑growing flower head maintains clarity and freshness on long stems, making 'China Doll' well suited for both early summer display and cut arrangements.
