Faded Pink-Apricot in the Sun
Smashing Pretty Pia is, by a good margin, one of the most generous bloomers we grow — the kind of variety that just doesn’t stop producing once it gets going.
The colour is a faded pink-apricot that genuinely seems to catch the light — growers who’ve had it in the field describe it glittering a little in direct sun, which is a nice thing to watch for when you’re out cutting in the morning.
Bred by Sofia Lundberg of Smashing Dahlias in Sweden, it’s built for cutting — long stems, plenty of blooms, and a soft colour that pairs easily with almost anything else in a bouquet.
If you want volume as well as beauty, this is one of the most reliable bloomers in the line-up.
A few growing notes:
- Height: medium-tall, good stem length for cutting
- Bloom size: medium decorative bloom
- Full sun, well-drained soil
