Dahlia Starburst Pink

Dahlia Starburst Pink 'Baldadenrosa' – Anemone Dahlia

An anemone-flowered dahlia in clear rose pink. A ring of flat outer petals surrounds a raised cushion of short tubular central florets, which gives the flower its starburst look. The plant is compact and self-supporting at 40 to 50 cm with dark green foliage, and it flowers from late spring to the first frosts without staking or disbudding.

Plant in full sun to part shade in fertile, free-draining soil, and keep water and feed up through summer. Deadhead regularly to sustain the display. In cool districts the tubers can be lifted once the foliage dies back, or left in the ground under a thick mulch where drainage is reliable. It is compact enough for a large container and productive enough to cut from.

Registered as 'Baldadenrosa' and sold variously as Dalaya Maxi Pink Starburst and Dalina Maxi Starburst Pink. It won the FleuroStar award for 2024–25, which is judged based on wow factor.
