🌸 Full Product Description

✨ Dahlia ‘20th Ave For Mom’ — Petite Powerhouse in Deep Pink

A 2024 introduction from Rich Gibson, For Mom is listed as a Dark Pink Miniature Ball (MB) with strong exhibition credentials. Its petals are dense and finely structured, giving each bloom the crisp, full-ball appearance collectors love.

It’s compact and garden-friendly, growing in the 3 to 3.5 ft range in many gardens, yet it’s anything but small in presence. The stems are dusky dark — giving the vibrant blooms contrast and impact in garden beds. Growers praise it for excellent vase life, steady production throughout the season, and stems that stand up in arrangements.

Even The Gardening Moose admits it’s hard to pass For Mom without pausing: such richness in a small package.
