Stellar · 4–6"PinkR. Stitt (1970)New Zealand

Cotton candy pink petals fade to a marshmallow ivory center, and the whole thing moves when there is any breeze at all. Bred in New Zealand in 1970 and still untouched for that exact color combination, it arrives early in the season before most other dahlias have even thought about opening. Exhibition growers reach for it when they want a ribbon winner that stands apart; florists reach for it because brides ask for it by name. It was bred in New Zealand by R. Stitt in 1970.

Growing Alloway Candy

Plant in full sun with well-draining soil and pinch when your plant has a few sets of leaves to encourage more branching and stems. Skip disbudding as the natural spray habit is part of the appeal. Harvest when blooms are three-quarters open, sear stem ends immediately in very hot water, and allow to cool before arranging. Your plant produces prolifically and is often one of the first in the garden to flower, so watch for those early buds and get ahead of harvesting. Tubers tend to be small and thin, so store them with extra care over winter.

Spacing
Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking
Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
