Ruthie G is a sweet, feminine waterlily dahlia with cupped, shell-pink blooms that deepen toward a soft yellow center, giving each flower a gentle, glowing heart. The blooms land in that super-usable “small but impactful” size, and the plants are generous—tall, branching, and loaded with long stems that are a joy to pick.
Height: About 3–3.5 feet
Bloom size: Roughly 3–4 inches
Form: Waterlily; slightly cupped, layered petals with a soft, rounded profile
Color: Medium pink petals with a light yellow or creamy center; reads as a warm blush in arrangements
Vigor: Very floriferous with excellent repeat bloom through the season
Stem strength: Long, straight, and strong—excellent for cutting
Special notes: Smaller, cupped shape tucks beautifully into hand-tied bouquets and mixes seamlessly with peaches, creams, and deeper roses
Why you need this variety:
Ruthie G is the definition of a dependable blush workhorse—soft, flattering color, easy size, and loads of stems. If you design in pinks and pastels, it quickly becomes one of those dahlias you wish you’d planted twice as many of.
