Araluen Leatrice

Araluen Leatrice is a pink formal decorative dahlia, bred in Australia by Vale 'Ron' Wilkes and introduced in 1967. Nearly sixty years on, she's still in circulation, which is more staying power than most trends can manage.

Her blooms run four to six inches across, with the neat, symmetrical petals that formal decorative dahlias are known for. She's tidy, polished, and the one who sets the table properly.

Plant her if you want classic pink with good manners.
