Dahlia Muchacha

One tuber per pot. Pickup available mid-May. A striking ball-type dahlia with large, 5” (12 cm) blooms that display a beautiful blend of colour. Petals open in rich rose-pink tones and gradually soften into shades of lavender and pale blush, often with lighter tips. At the center, deeper burgundy hues add contrast, while a gentle wash of creamy tones near the base gives the flower added depth and dimension. The name Muchacha, meaning “young woman,” reflects its graceful yet expressive character, with origins tracing back to Mexico and Guatemala. Blooming continuously from mid-summer until frost, ‘Muchacha’ is a productive and reliable variety with strong stems and excellent vase life. Its layered colouring makes it especially versatile for floral work, pairing well with both soft and bold palettes. Thrives in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. A standout choice for growers looking for large, dynamic blooms with a refined, romantic feel.
