Formal Decorative · 4–6"YellowWayne Holland (1995)Canada

Hy Clown was bred in Canada by Wayne Holland in 1995. Soft yellow centers warm into peachy pink as the outer petals recurve toward the stem, giving each bloom a quiet, sunlit glow. Wayne Holland raised it in Naramata in the mid-nineties as a breeding parent, and it still passes that easy cheer along wherever it grows. Hy Clown is a formal decorative dahlia that opens 4–6" blooms in yellow.

Growing Hy Clown

Stake early even though the plants stay on the shorter side, because the heavy heads will tip a stem once the weather turns warm. Pinch once at four sets of leaves to push lateral stems, then cut deep and often to keep new buds coming. Watch for a coarse flower now and then and pass those by for the show bench.

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