Golden heads the size of dinner plates lean over the back of the border in late summer, pulling every eye in the garden toward one corner. Bred by Norm and Dawn Anselmo in Spokane, it carried the Inland Empire dahlia circle onto show tables across the country. Growers who chase giant yellows still start here. It was bred in United States by Norm and Dawn Anselmo in 1992.

Growing Inland Dynasty
Stake early and deep, because a single heavy head on a windy afternoon can snap a stem at the base. Disbud side shoots ruthlessly if you want the giant blooms the exhibition judges reward. Feed steadily through midsummer, and pinch the growing tip once when you see the third pair of leaves. Keep afternoon shade on hand in hot climates so the yellow does not bleach.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
