This dinner plate dahlia makes 6-8” blooms of deliciously colored flowers that range from soft pink to white to butter from the outer layers of voluminous petals as they open towards the center. New petals are involute but as they age they unfurl and become revolute, which is a unique attribute that leads to its aesthetic appeal. Gitt’s Perfection plants are robust, produce a large quantity of flowers and reach a height between 48” and 60”. However, what makes Gitt’s Perfection a definite keeper in my book is that it has a long vase life as a cut dahlia, especially for a dinner plate, and I experience it regularly lasting 5-7 days in the vase.
