Formal Decorative · 5–6"Pink2010United States
Sheer Heaven is a formal decorative dahlia that opens 5–6" blooms in pink. Soft peach petals open with a cream heart and fade toward a deeper apricot edge, so every bloom reads as its own gradient. The color shifts through the season, cooling toward blush in heat and warming to coral on cold mornings. It is a 2010 United States introduction.

Growing Sheer Heaven
Stake early because the tall, slim stems carry heavy heads and will lean after a hard rain. Pinch the central shoot once the main stem reaches thigh height to force strong lateral branching. Disbud the two side buds below each terminal when you want exhibition-clean flowers for bouquet work. Cut at three-quarter open for the longest hold indoors.
- Spacing
- Space about 3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
