20th Ave Pure Prince
20th Ave Pure Prince is a refined miniature formal decorative in cool lavender, with tightly layered petals forming a beautifully finished bloom just under four inches. His color sits in that elusive space between lavender, smoky lilac, and soft purple, giving him a quieter, more sophisticated presence than many brighter purple dahlias.
Bred by Rich Gibson, Pure Prince has already earned serious exhibition credentials, including the ADS Lynn B. Dudley Medal for the miniature class before his 2022 introduction.
