Dahlia 'Smooches'
Smooches Dahlia
Dahlia 'Smooches' opens in midsummer with bright pink semi‑cactus blossoms that carry a cheerful, uncomplicated tone. As the flowers age, the centers often fade to a soft white, adding a gentle variation to the overall look. The petals are narrow and slightly reflexed, giving each bloom a spiky yet approachable silhouette, and sturdy stems support the flowers for garden display or cutting. Blooming continues reliably into early autumn, ensuring a long season of soft pink presence. With its lively color and dependable habit, 'Smooches' brings consistent charm to borders, containers, or bouquets.
