Maki Dahlia-Color Outside the Lines. Big, bold, and delightfully unpredictable, Maki is a garden rebel with a flair for the dramatic. A flamboyant sport of the legendary Emory Paul, this bloom breaks all the rules — bursting into 12"–14" flowers painted in every shade of pink, sometimes streaked, sometimes solid, and occasionally throwing in a rebellious purple for good measure.
No two blooms are alike, but each one is a masterpiece worthy of its own standing ovation. Rising to 4' with sturdy stems and a late-season bloom time, Maki brings serious drama to the garden stage — even if it’s not a cutting-room favorite. She’s not meant to be tamed — she’s meant to be seen.
