Castle Drive is pure fairytale in dahlia form—huge, formal decorative blooms in creamy, blush-pink and soft yellow, sometimes with golden tips that bring a sunrise glow to every petal. The flowers open flat, showing elegantly layered petals with distinct points and a flat face, usually measuring about 4–5 inches wide. The plant stands 4 to 4.5 feet tall with light green stems and distinctive, floppy light green leaves—telling it apart from similar varieties like Coralie. While each bloom leans pinkest at the center with pastel cream toward the tips, temperature swings can alter the color to be softer or more pronounced from week to week.
Height: 4–4.5 feet
Bloom size: 4–5 inches
Form: Formal decorative; flat-faced, layered, pointed petals
Color: Blush-pink with buttercream and gold accents, especially as nights cool
Vigor: Medium to good—a solid producer but not quite as prolific as lookalikes
Stem strength: Lighter green, softer stems; handle gently for best vase life
Special notes: Blooms face upward, foliage and stems are light and floppy (a key identifier), overall more pink than Coralie, with truer gold on the petal edges
Why you need this variety:
Castle Drive brings soft, romantic color and flawless shape—if you crave those dreamy blush-and-gold tones, this dahlia is a true showpiece. There’s nothing else quite like her in the garden for fairytale beauty and photo-ready petals.
