Hemisphere

Hemisphere is graceful from every angle, and she brings the broad, gently cupped petal shape that gives waterlilies their charm. Pink blend, with broad, gently cupped petals arranged in a graceful waterlily form.

Bloomed at Hedge & Alchemy in our 2026 garden.

📖 From the journal of Hedge & Alchemy

One of the coolest and most unique dahlias I grew. Every bloom seems to have its own personality.
