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.

Cut early in the morning when blooms have just opened fully to get the best holding quality from the stems.
