Informal Decorative · 8–10"PinkNicholas GittsUnited States

Gitts Perfection is an informal decorative dahlia that opens 8–10" blooms in pink. Soft pink petals fade to a creamy white heart, and the bloom sits flat and open on the stem like a plate carried to the table. The Gitts family bred it on the Swan Island fields that set the standard for American exhibition dahlias, and the flower shows its breeding in depth and angle on the show bench. It comes from Nicholas Gitts in United States.

Growing Gitts Perfection

Stake early and keep your ties loose as the heavy heads come in, because one open bloom can pull a thin cane sideways in a summer storm. Disbud side buds on the top third if you want show-quality flatness and depth, and pinch once at four sets of true leaves to shape your habit. Cut in the cool of the morning as soon as the outer ring opens.

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