Jennie is a 1993 United States introduction. Jennie produces large, intricately fringed blooms in warm buttercream that deepen to a rose-pink blush at the petal tips. Each flower carries a shaggy, otherworldly character thanks to its split-tipped petals, which create movement and texture that flat-faced varieties cannot match. Jennie is a laciniated dahlia that opens 6–8" blooms in white.

Growing Jennie
Pinch plants when they reach about knee height to promote strong branching and a heavy flush of blooms. Stake early, as the large flowers can catch wind and snap untethered stems. Cut stems in the early morning when buds are three-quarters open, then condition in warm water for at least one hour before arranging. Water at the root zone and keep foliage dry to limit mildew through the long growing season.
- Spacing
- Space about 3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
