Description:
Lee’s Pineberry Trifle is a striking bicolor dahlia with a strawberry-pink base color topped by prominent white petal tips, giving the blooms a delicate, frosted effect. The contrast is elegant and bright, lending a fresh, romantic aesthetic to floral designs. Each bloom is typically ~4 inches, fully double, and well-formed, making them standout focal or companion flowers in mixed arrangements.
The plants grow to about 5 feet tall and are strong producers of long stems, making them great for cutting. Over the season, slight variations in the intensity of the white tipping may emerge—this natural variability adds character to bouquets rather than detracting from uniformity.
Growing & Cut Notes:
Space plants 12 – 18 inches apart for airflow.
Pinch when plants reach ~12 inches tall to encourage branching.
Harvest when blossoms are ~¾ open (before full flare) for the best vase life.
Use clean cuts and hydration immediately post-harvest.
Support stems if bearing multiple blooms or under adverse weather.
Best For:
Romantic weddings, pastel and bicolor arrangements, cut-flower production, and garden display where a soft contrast is desired.
