Laciniated · 8–9"YellowMingus Dahlias (2001)United States

Dinnerplate blooms open shaggy and fringed, each petal split at the tip so the flower catches light like torn silk. Primrose yellow at the heart softens into peach and apricot at the edges, a warm fade that rarely shows up in one head. Growers who want one statement stem in a farmstand bucket keep coming back to this one. It was bred in United States by Mingus Dahlias in 2001.

Growing Mingus Joshua

Stake early, the plants run tall and the heads get heavy. Pinch once at six sets of leaves to build side stems, and cut blooms just as the back petals relax to get the fullest show indoors.

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