WaterlilyPinkTed and Margaret Kennedy (2023)United States

Broad, flat-faced blooms in a vivid cerise pink open from summer through the first frost on plants that push well past five feet. The flowers carry a warm, saturated hue that holds its depth even in afternoon sun, and the dark green, serrated foliage sets off each bloom cleanly. Kennedy-bred and introduced in 2023, it made the RHS Dahlia Trial 2023-2024 list, proving its merit as a fresh-season performer in the cutting patch. It was bred in United States by Ted and Margaret Kennedy in 2023.

Growing Hollyhill Letitia

Stake plants early because they reach six feet or more and will lean once the blooms open. Pinch at four to six sets of leaves to encourage lateral branching and more stems per plant. Water at the base consistently and avoid wetting foliage to reduce mildew risk as the season lengthens. Cut stems in the morning once the blooms are fully open to get the longest post-harvest life.

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