Burfoot Lotus

Burfoot Lotus

Burfoot Lotus is an Informal Decorative dahlia unlike any other — a waterlily-esque silhouette with tightly closed centers, wispy petaloids fluttering between the main cupped petals, and a color palette that transforms dramatically with the season.

Color

A glowing soft salmon-pink that smoothly fades to warm peach and golden-yellow, with each petal framed by a paintbrush-like darker pink picotee outline. The wispy petaloids between petals add a delicate, almost fantastical texture that catches every breeze.

Climate Variability

Highly dynamic and season-responsive: summer heat brings out a fuzzy, textured character with heavy petaloids, while cooler autumn temperatures amplify the prominent picotee framing and soften the petals into rounder, more refined shapes. Two seasons, two distinct looks.
