Frost Nip is a large, 8–10‑inch informal decorative dahlia with rich raspberry‑pink to salmon‑pink petals frosted in white at the tips. The contrast between the warm pink base and the cool white edges gives it a vivid, glowing presence, like bright fish bodies catching light in fast water. Its palette echoes both the bold, banded pink warmth of chum salmon and the softer, shimmering blush tones of ocean‑phase pinks. With its size, color, strong stems, and pattern‑morphing frosting, Frost Nip is a powerful focal flower in both garden and arrangements. Pattern Morpher.
