Gerrie Hoek is a heritage variety, hybridized by Hoek from the Netherlands and introduced in 1942 (sometimes cited as 1945).
Characteristics:
Form: Waterlily (WL). This is its most defining characteristic. The blooms are fully double, but relatively shallow and flat, with broad, rounded petals arranged symmetrically, giving the flower a delicate, waterlily-like appearance.
Color: Pink (PK). The blooms are a soft, beautiful shell pink or bubblegum pink, often with a slightly paler, almost white margin on the petal tips and a subtle, deeper rose-pink near the centre.
Bloom Size: Medium (B), typically ranging from 4 to 6 inches (10–15 cm) in diameter.
Height: A tall, robust plant, growing to about 3 to 4 feet (90–120 cm) in height.
Performance: 'Gerrie Hoek' is known for being an outstanding, prolific bloomer with long, sturdy stems, making it one of the most popular and reliable dahlias for wedding and cut-flower work.
