Dahlia Pinelands Princess

Dahlia ‘Pinelands Princess’ brings a softer, more refined look into the garden, but with enough detail to keep you looking twice. The blooms open in a gentle blend of blush pink, creamy white, and a hint of warm peach toward the center. What really sets it apart is the petal texture. This is a true fimbriata dahlia, meaning each petal is finely split at the tip. Up close, the flower has a delicate, fringed edge. From a distance, it reads as full and luminous, but never heavy. That combination of color and texture gives it a lighter feel than most dahlias of similar size. Flowers are typically around five to six inches across and are carried on strong, upright stems that make this variety just as useful in the garden as it is for cutting. Plants grow to about 32 to 40 inches tall and branch well, producing a steady run of blooms from midsummer through the first frost. In the garden, ‘Pinelands Princess’ works easily into softer planting schemes. It pairs naturally with blush tones, creams, pale yellows, and even deeper shades where it can bring contrast without overpowering. The fringed petals also help break up more structured flower forms, adding a bit of movement to the planting. For cutting, this is a dependable variety. The stems are long and clean, the blooms hold their shape, and the color blends effortlessly into arrangements. The textured edges add detail without making the bouquet feel busy. Plant tubers in spring after the last frost, once the soil has warmed. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil and give plants enough space to develop. Staking early helps support the stems as the plant grows. In colder parts of the United States, lift tubers after frost and store them dry over winter. If you’re looking for a dahlia that combines soft color with a more detailed, fringed finish, Dahlia ‘Pinelands Princess’ is one that brings both elegance and steady performance to the garden.
