Incurved Cactus · 6–8"RedMingus DahliasUnited States

Mingus Laura is an incurved cactus dahlia that opens 6–8" blooms in red. Each petal rolls tight into a tube before it opens, so the whole head reads as a sphere of crimson quills until the tips flare back and reveal the full bloom. The color stays saturated through summer heat without fading to orange, and the structured form holds its shape long enough to be worth cutting at bud stage. It comes from Mingus Dahlias in United States.

Growing Mingus Laura

Stake early because the stems run tall and the heads are heavy enough to snap in wind. Pinch once above the third or fourth leaf pair to encourage side branching and more stems per plant. Cut blooms when the back row of petals is just beginning to separate from the button, and recut stems underwater before arranging.
