Dahlia ‘Otto’s Thrill’ – Dinnerplate Dahlia
Dahlia ‘Otto’s Thrill’ is a show-stopping dinnerplate dahlia, renowned for its enormous, perfectly formed blooms in a luminous shade of soft pink. Flowering from midsummer until the first frosts, it delivers dramatic impact and a touch of glamour to borders, cutting gardens, and late-season displays.
Towering to 36–40 inches in height and spreading 18–24 inches wide, ‘Otto’s Thrill’ produces huge flowers up to 10 inches across, held aloft on strong, upright stems above lush, mid-green foliage. The impressive blooms make exceptional cut flowers, lasting well in arrangements and adding elegance indoors.
Thriving in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, this dahlia benefits from regular feeding and staking to support its weighty blooms. Deadheading spent flowers encourages a continuous display, and lifting the tubers after the first frosts allows them to be stored for planting the following spring.
Flowering Period
July: First buds open, large pastel-pink blooms emerge
July – October: Peak flowering, with abundant show-quality blooms
Until frost: Final flowers hold until the season’s end
With its lavish size, soft romantic color, and season-spanning performance, Dahlia ‘Otto’s Thrill’ is a must-have for gardeners seeking bold, late-season beauty and cutting-garden perfection.
