Penhill Yellow Queen is a large yellow dahlia from the South African Penhill breeding program. Its wide, open blooms carry petals in a vivid, uniform yellow with just enough curl at the tips to add depth without fussiness. Plants are tall and upright, holding flowers well above the foliage so each bloom reads clearly from a distance. It comes from W.H. Maritz in South Africa.

Growing Penhill Yellow Queen

Plant tubers after the last frost in a full-sun location with well-drained soil. Pinch the main shoot above the third set of leaves to encourage branching and a heavier flower load. Stake plants early, before they need it, and secure stems loosely so they can thicken without restriction. Feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds form, and water deeply but infrequently to keep roots healthy without waterlogging. Cut spent blooms regularly to keep production going.

Spacing: Space about 3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
