Dahlia Otto’s Thrill

Dahlia ‘Otto’s Thrill’ is a standout in the dinnerplate dahlia category, renowned for its enormous 10-inch blooms in a soft coral-pink hue that evokes the beauty of a pink sunset. The petals of these giant flowers are darker at the center and lighten toward the tips, creating a lush, shimmering effect. This variety has been a favorite since its introduction in 1956, particularly among florists, due to its long, strong stems and striking appearance. Growing on a sturdy 4-foot plant with rich green foliage, ‘Otto’s Thrill’ adds a dramatic and romantic charm to any garden or floral arrangement. Its combination of size, color, and form makes it a highly sought-after choice for gardeners, floral designers, and competitive displays alike.

Dahlias should be planted after the risk of frost has passed and will continue to bloom from early summer until mid-autumn. For optimal growth and flowering, choose a sunny spot to plant the tubers, as Dahlias thrive in full sun.
