Maya is a luminous formal decorative dahlia whose 4–5 inch blooms blend bright pink, violet‑pink, and soft rose tones, often shifting toward dusty rose as they mature. Although some catalog descriptions highlight champagne, apricot, or yellow petals, many gardeners—especially in cooler, coastal regions—find that Maya blooms predominantly in the pink‑violet range. On compact 3.5–4 foot plants, it produces long, elegant stems and a steady flow of blooms that hold beautifully in arrangements. Refined, versatile, and consistently beautiful, Maya remains a coveted treasure for wedding and design work.

Salmon-Dahlia Atlas Zone: Zone 9 – Rainbow Trout Zone 5 – Mature Pink

Morph Type: Pattern Morpher + Maturation Shifter (suspected Phase Shifter) — blooms vary in the balance of pink, violet, and rose tones from flower to flower, with some opening brighter pink and others leaning more violet. As blooms age, they soften toward dusty rose, and seasonal conditions appear to influence whether the palette skews cooler (violet‑pink) or warmer (soft rose). Form remains stable.
