Mayan Pearl

Mayan Pearl is a unique and attractive dahlia known for its compact habit and distinctive petal shape, which gives the bloom a textured, ruffled appearance. It is highly valued for cut flowers and is an RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM) winner.

Characteristics:

Form: Double Orchid (DblO) (RHS Classification)—This group features fully double blooms where the ray florets (petals) are narrow, lance-shaped, and often slightly pinched and twisted at the outer ends, creating a fringed or ruffled texture. It can sometimes be loosely grouped with the Informal Decorative types in general use due to the petal twist.

RHS Classification Code: DblO (Double Orchid)

• Note: This specific form is not one of the six main size-related forms used for the first two digits of the standard ADS classification number (e.g., 3010 or 2110), but is part of the additional forms recognized by both the ADS and RHS.

Color: The blooms are a vibrant pink, often with a darker coloration on the backs of the twisted florets, giving the flower a lovely depth of color.

Bloom Size: Small to Medium—The bloom size is generally not explicitly classified with a single letter code (like BB or B), but the overall size is moderate, making it great for cutting.

Height: A compact, bushy plant, typically growing between 2 to 3.5 feet (60–100 cm).

Performance: A compact dahlia with a bushy habit, known for its abundant flowers and suitability for both containers and cut flower arrangements. It is a good choice for the front or middle of a border.
