Hollyhill Pinkie Lacinated Dahlia

Hollyhill Pinkie Dahlia

Delicate and dreamy, Hollyhill Pinkie offers a soft blush of romantic pink with a whimsical, fringed edge. Its laciniated petals are finely dissected—giving the bloom a feathered, airy quality that seems to dance in the garden breeze. As light shifts through the stems, the petals subtly fade from slightly deeper pink to a creamy blush center, creating a living watercolor that draws the eye and invites admiration. For gardeners who appreciate texture, nuance, and sheer floral delight, Hollyhill Pinkie is a graceful statement.

A Bit of History

Hollyhill Pinkie belongs to the Hollyhill series of dahlias hybridized by Ted and Margaret Kennedy in Oregon City, Oregon — a lineage celebrated for refined form, stable performance, and elegant color blends. Its distinctive laciniated petals, with a picotée lipliner and feathered tips, set it apart from more common dahlias. At Triple Wren Farms, Pinkie is adored “day after day” for its charm and consistent blooms. Floret’s library describes it as tall plants with “soft candy pink flowers edged in purple,” underscoring its delicate color transitions and featherlike petal tips.
