Informal Decorative · 4–6"PinkMingus (1996)
Mingus Toni is an informal decorative dahlia that opens 4–6" blooms in pink. Raspberry speckles splash across bright pink petals, with a yellow eye flickering at the center. No two blooms paint themselves the same way, which is why growers keep coming back to the row. It was introduced by Mingus in 1996.
