Semi-CactusPinkMingus DahliasUnited States
Mingus Paula comes from Mingus Dahlias in United States. Mingus Paula opens with a warm yellow base that shifts steadily toward bright pink at the petal tips, giving each bloom a lit-from-within quality as color saturates outward. The tightly rolled, inward-curling petals hold their shape well into the morning and do not drop quickly in heat. Mingus Paula is a semi-cactus dahlia in pink.
