Ball · 2.5–3"PinkRich Gibson (2022)United States

Pale blush-pink petals pack into near-perfect spheres that hold their shape from opening through the full life of the bloom. Rich Gibson released this variety in 2022 under his 20th Avenue Dahlias label, and it earned a following among designers drawn to its soft color and reliable globular form. The hue shifts toward warm cream at the center but reads as one unbroken blush at distance. It was bred in United States by Rich Gibson in 2022.

Growing 20th Ave Memory

Pinch above the fourth leaf node to encourage multiple laterals and more branching. Stake at planting time so the support is in place before the root system is established. Feed with a low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus formula once buds begin to form. Disbud to one bud per lateral for the most symmetrical heads. Cut in the early morning when outer petals are fully open but the center is still slightly tight.

Spacing: Space about 3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
