Informal Decorative · 4–6"Yellow

Happy Butterfly is an informal decorative dahlia that opens 4–6" blooms in yellow. Happy Butterfly produces loosely-layered blooms in buttery yellow and cream, with cranberry tones bleeding up from the petal reverse to create a two-toned, wing-like effect. The upward-facing flowers appear on long, strong stems ideal for bouquets, and individual plants vary slightly in how much cranberry shows through, keeping each flush interesting.

Growing Happy Butterfly

Plant tubers after the last frost in a full-sun spot with well-draining soil. Pinch growing tips when plants reach roughly knee height to encourage branching and a higher stem count. Stake early before stems get top-heavy, and water at the base to keep foliage dry. Feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds begin to form.

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