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.

Growing Mingus Toni

Stake early because stems stretch past four feet by midseason. Pinch once above the third leaf pair to build a branching plant, then cut generously to keep new buds coming. Watch for the occasional solid red or pink reversion and rogue any off-type tubers at lift.

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