Seed collected at Our Mountain Garden from Florelie ‘Flamingo’ x Open Pollinated.

Flamingo was a keeper from the moment she flowered. Tall, strong stemmed and absolutely beautiful to use in bouquets - she is one we are very much looking forward to growing again next season.

Florelie ‘Flamingo’ is a miniature decorative dahlia bred by Lorelie Merton of Florelie, a Victorian cut flower and dahlia specialist, and released in 2025. Lorelie describes the blooms as fully double with a tightly packed, rounded form and a warm colour range that shifts from mid pink through to soft peachy tones across the season. The plants are tall - around 180cm - with long, strong stems that are a genuine pleasure to cut and work with.

Growing Information

Sowing time: Seeds need warmth to germinate - soil temperature of at least 18°C, ideally 20-25°C.

Starting method: Sow into seed raising mix in small pots or trays, covering seeds lightly with about 5mm of mix. The paper towel method also works well - place seeds between damp paper towels in a warm spot (20-25°C), check daily, and pot up as soon as you see a root emerge. Once sprouted, keep seedlings in good light to avoid leggy growth.

Germination: Typically 7-14 days at 18-25°C. Cooler conditions will slow germination considerably.

Planting out: Plant seedlings out once overnight temperatures are reliably above 10°C and all risk of frost has passed.

Position: Full sun

Happy Gardening
