Formby Duke

Formby Duke is a big, regal decorative dahlia in dusty pink with antique, cinnamon and soft apricot undertones that deepen into a richer cinnamon-pink as the season goes on. The huge, generously petalled blooms sit on strong, long stems, which makes it a favorite with florists and exhibitors. It handles heat and humidity well, branches quickly after pinching, and benefits from staking because of its bloom size.
